So, x = 5 is the unknown number which satisfies the statement (1). This is nothing but an equation. An equation is a mathematical statement equating two expressions. The expression on the left side of the equal sign is called LHS (Left Hand Side) and the expression on the right side of the equal sign is called RHS (Right Hand Side). The expressions on either side of equal sign are called members of the equation.<\/p>\n<p>An equation which involves a variable with the highest power 1 is called a <strong>linear equation<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<strong>Examples:<\/strong> 2x + 3 = 7, x + y = 9, a + b = 2.5 are examples of a linear equation.<br \/>\nBut, what about x<sup>2<\/sup> + 4 = 13?

This number which satisfies the equation is called the <strong>solution<\/strong> or <strong>root<\/strong> of the equation.<br \/>\n<strong>Example:<\/strong> 2x + 3 = 11<br \/>\nHere, if we consider the value of x = 4,<br \/>\nthen 2x + 3 = 11<br \/>\ni. e., LHS = RHS<br \/>\nso, 4 is the root of 2x + 3 = 11.<br \/>\nTo find the root (solution) of an equation, i.e., to solve an equation we can follow these methods:<br \/>\n1. Trial and error method<br \/>\n2. Systematic method<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trial and Error Method<\/strong><br \/>\nIn this method, we try different values for the variable to make both sides of an equation equal. We stop this trial as soon as we get a particular value of the variable which makes the LHS equal to the RHS. This particular value is said to be the root of that equation.<br \/>\n<strong>Example:<\/strong> Solve 2x &#8211; 3 = 5, using trial and error method.<br \/>\n<strong>Solution:<\/strong> We try different values of x to find LHS = RHS.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/9\/8703\/29394028723_5b7824734c_o.png\" alt=\"trail-and-error-method\" width=\"415\" height=\"180\" \/><br \/>\nFrom the above table, we find that LHS = RHS, when x = 4.<br \/>\n\u2234 Solution is x = 4.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Systematic Method<\/strong><br \/>\nTo solve a linear equation using this method, we add, subtract, multiply, or divide both the sides of the equation by the same number.<br \/>\nTransposing a number (i.e., changing the side of the number) is the same as adding or subtracting the number from both sides of the equation. In doing so, we change the sign of the number.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example 1:<\/strong> Solve: 2m &#8211; 12 = 18.<br \/>\n<strong>Solution:<\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c2.staticflickr.com\/6\/5620\/29937339571_157f7b067c_o.png\" alt=\"systematic-method\" width=\"412\" height=\"387\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Example 2:<\/strong> A number increased by 15 gives 23. Find the number.<br \/>\n<strong>Solution:<\/strong> Let the number be x.<br \/>\nNumber increased by 15 = x + 15.<br \/>\nIt is 23.<br \/>\n\u2234 The equation is x + 15 = 23<br \/>\nor, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0x + 15 &#8211; 15 = 23 &#8211; 15<br \/>\n(Subtracting 15 from both sides)<br \/>\nor, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0x = 8<br \/>\nSo, the number = 8.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example 3:<\/strong> Three times a number decreased by 6 gives 12. Find the number.<br \/>\n<strong>Solution:<\/strong> Let the number be x.<br \/>\n\u2234 3 times of x = 3x<br \/>\n3x decreased by 6 = 3x &#8211; 6.<br \/>\nIt is 12.<br \/>\n\u2234 The equation is 3x &#8211; 6 = 12<br \/>\n3x &#8211; 6 + 6 = 12 + 6<br \/>\n(By adding 6 on both sides)<br \/>\nor, 3x = 18<br \/>\n3x\/3 = 18\/3<br \/>\n(Dividing by 3 on both sides)<br \/>\nor, x = 6<br \/>\nSo, the number = 6<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a Linear Equation Let us consider a small puzzle: Think of a number and add 7 to get 12.
