i dont understand what you mean by symbolic but ill just do an example
2a + 3 = 4 - 5a
first collect like terms
2a +3 -3 = 4 -3 -5a
2a = 4-3 - 5a
2a + 5a = 1 - 5a + 5a
2a + 5a = 1
7a = 1
divide both sides by the coefficient of the unknwown(i.e. the number in front of the letter)
7a/7 = 1/7
a = 1/7

How do you solve a linear equation using the symbolic method?
you cant
Describe the procedure used to solve an equation for a variable?
It very much depends on the equation. The procedure for solving an equation with just one variable is so very different from the procedure for finding solutions to non-linear equations in several variables.
How do you solve imaginary equations?
The answer depends on the nature of the equation. Just as there are different ways of solving a linear equation with a real solution and a quadratic equation with real solutions, and other kinds of equations, there are different methods for solving different kinds of imaginary equations.
Why do you isolate the variable on one side the the equation when solving a linear equation?
Isolating a single variable in terms of the rest of the equation provides a solution to that variable. That is, if you know the equation that equals the variable, then you can figure out its value.
What is 306g is equal too 22.5?
It appears to be a linear equation in the variable, g.It appears to be a linear equation in the variable, g.It appears to be a linear equation in the variable, g.It appears to be a linear equation in the variable, g.
How does solving a literal equation differ from solving a linear equation?
Because linear equations are based on algebra equal to each other whereas literal equations are based on solving for one variable.
How do you solve a linear equation using the symbolic method?
you cant
Why do you clear decimals when solving a linear equation?
because you just do!
How do you graph a linear equation slope intercept?
You can graph a linear equation slope intercept by solving the equation and plugging in the numbers : y=mx+b
Compare the symbolic method for solving linear equations to the methods of using a table or graph?
Equations = the method
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.
Describe the procedure used to solve an equation for a variable?
It very much depends on the equation. The procedure for solving an equation with just one variable is so very different from the procedure for finding solutions to non-linear equations in several variables.
Describe the graph of a linear equation?
It is a straight line.
What are 3 methods to solving a system of linear equations?
u can use gauss jorden or gauss elimination method for solving linear equation u also use simple subtraction method for small linear equation also.. after that also there are many methods are available but above are most used
How can you tell if an equation has at most one solution without solving it?
You can be certain if the equation is linear, that is, of the form ax + b = 0 where a and b are constants.
Who discovered linear equations?
View all Sir William Rowan Hamilton invented the linear equation in 1843.
Who discovered the systems of linear equation?
The history of linear algebra begins with Leibniz in 1693 who studied determinants. In 1750, Cramer invented a rule (Cramer's rule) for solving linear systems.
