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.
A system of linear equations that has one unknown is a set of equations that all depend on the same variable. An example is y = 1 + 3x and y = 4 + 7x.
You cannot work a simultaneous equation. You require a system of equations. How you solve them depends on their nature: two or more linear equations are relatively easy to solve by eliminating variables - one at a time and then substituting these values in the earlier equations. For systems of equations containing non-linear equations it is simpler to substitute for variable expression for one of the variables at the start and working towards the other variable(s).
y=3x+2 y-4x=9 These are examples of linear equations which is a first degree algebraic expression with one, two or more variables equated to a constant. So x=2 is a linear equation as is y=1 but x2 =1 is not since the variable, x , has degree 2.
A system of linear equations that has at least one solution is called consistent.
NO
Linear Equations are equations with variable with power 1 for eg: 5x + 7 = 0 Simultaneous Equations are two equations with more than one variable so that solving them simultaneously

First degree equations ad inequalities in one variable are known as linear equations or linear inequalities. The one variable part means they have only one dimension. For example x=3 is the point 3 on the number line. If we write x>3 then it is all points on the number line greater than but not equal to 3.

It is called solving by elimination.
Because linear equations are based on algebra equal to each other whereas literal equations are based on solving for one variable.

Linear equations with one variable will either be horizontal or vertical lines. y=2 is a horizontal line going through (0,2)
One of the most common ways to represent linear equations is to use constants. You can also represent linear equations by drawing a graph.
