An equation of one variable and of first order (i.e., its highest power is one) is called a Linear equation in one variable.
Such an equation has only one solution. A solution is also called the 'root' of the given equation.

Solving linear equations in one variableFor ExampleSolve X/4 - (X-3)/6 = 1
Solution:
Multiplying throughout by the LCM of the denominators (which is 12):
3x - 2 (x - 3) = 12
3x - 2x + 6 = 12
x = 12 - 6
x = 6

What relationship does a linear graph shows?
A linear graph shows a linear equation in which the value of one variable depends on the value of the other variable.
What is -2a - 9 equals 39?
It is a linear equation in one variable, a.
What does it mean when the result of solving a linear equation is x equals 0?
Solving a one variable linear equation involves getting the variable on one side of the equals sign by itself. To do this one uses the properties of numbers.
Why are linear equations also called first-degree equation?
Equations can be classified according to the highest power of the variable. Since the highest power of the variable in a linear equation is one, it is also called a first-order equation.
What is 3y-7 equals 8?
It is a linear equation in one variable, y.
