    Algebraic Expressions vs. Equations

    In the previous chapter, we looked at algebraic


    expressions:
    a
    –9 y + 5, 10k, and 2 5
    - 7b c

    Equations are statements that two algebraic expressions are


    equal:
    3x – 13 = 29, 2 + y = – 11, and 3m = 4m – 2

    An equation always contains an equals sign, but


    an expression does not.

    Linear Equation in one Variable

    A linear equation in one variable is an equation


    which can be written in the form:

    ax +b =c
    wherea ,b , andc are real numbers witha 
    0.
    A linear equation is also called a first-degree
    equation since the greatest power on the variable is
    one.
    5x + 10 = 13

    Why are the following Not linear
    equations in one variable:

    2
    2x + 3y = 11 (x  1)2 =8 5  x 7
    3x

    Two variables x is squared. Variable in the


    denominator

    Determine whether the following equations
    are linear or nonlinear.

    8x + 3 = –9 Yes, x is raised to the first


    power.
    No, x is not raised to the first
    9x 3 – 8 = 15
    power.
    7 = No, x is not raised to the first
    x power.
    –12
    x  4  16 No, x is not raised to the first
    power.

    Solution of a Linear Equation
    A solution of a linear equation in one variable is a real number
    which, when substituted for the variable in the equation, makes
    the equation true.
    Example: Is 3 a solution of 2x + 3 = 11?
    2x + 3 = 11
    2(3) + 3 = 11
    6 + 3 = 11 False equation
    3 is not a solution of 2x + 3 =
    11.
    Example: Is 4 a solution of 2x + 3 = 11?
    2x + 3 = 11
    2(4) + 3 = 11
    8 + 3 = 11 True equation
    4 is a solution of 2x + 3 = 11.

    Solving Linear Equations in One Variable
    Addition and Subtraction Property of Equations

    Ifa =b , thena +c =b +c anda c =b c.

    That is, the same number can be added to or subtracted from each side of
    an equation without changing the solution of the equation.

    Use these properties to solve linear equations.

    Example: Solvex  5 = 12.

    x  5 = 12 Original equation
    x  5 + 5 = 12 + 5 Add 5 to both sides of the equation.

    x = 17 17 is the solution.

    17  5 = 12 Check the answer.

    Addition and Subtraction Property of Equations

    Ifa =b , thena +c =b +c anda c =b c.

    That is, the same number can be added to or subtracted from each side of
    an equation without changing the solution of the equation.

    Use these properties to solve linear equations.

    Example: Solvex + 9 = 12

    x + 9 = 12 Original equation
    x + 9 – 9 = 12 – 9 Subtract 9 from both sides of the
    equation.
    x =3 3 is the solution.

    3 + 9 = 12 Check the answer.

    Multiplication and Division Property of Equations

    a b
    Ifa =b andc  0, thenac =bc and  .
    c c
    That is, an equation can be multiplied or divided by the
    same nonzero real number without changing the
    solution of the equation.
    Example: Solve 2x + 7 = 19.
    2x + 7 = 19 Original equation
    2x + 7  7 = 19  7 Subtract 7 from both sides.
    2x = 12 Simplify both sides.
    1 1
     (2 x)  (1 2 ) Multiply both the sides by1 .

    x =6 6 is the solution.
    2(6) + 7 = 12 + 7 = 19 Check the answer.

    Solving an Equation with a Variable on One Side

    Solve 3x + 2 = 10.

    3x + 2 – 2 = 10 – Subtract 2.

    3x = 8 Simplify
    3x 8
      Divide by 3.

    CB/VIII/2122 Linear Equations in One Variable 10 of 12
    Check by substituting the obtained solution back into the original
    equation.
    3x + 2 = 10

    3× 8 + 2 = 10
    3
    Since the value of each side is 10, the
    8 + 2 = 10 obtained solution is correct.

    . 8
    Thus, the solution of the equation is
