LINEAR EQUATIONS IN ONE VARIABLE Class Notes

Introduction to Linear Equations:


1. Understanding Equation Equivalence:
• An equation signifies the equivalence between two algebraic expressions containing one or more
variables.
• For instance, the equation "x + 2 = 3" represents a scenario with multiple variables.
2. Equations in Linear Form:
• Key Consideration: Linear equations involve expressions with a single variable, and the highest
power of that variable is 1.
• Algebraic equations are essentially statements of equivalence, signifying that the value of one
expression on one side of the equality symbol is identical to the value of another expression on the
opposite side.
3. Characteristics of Linear Equations:
• Linear equations in one variable are the focus of study in Classes VI, VII, and VIII.
• These equations exclusively feature one variable, and their expressions are linear, which means the
highest power of the variable within the equation is 1.
4. Solving Linear Equations:
• Linear equations can be solved with rational integer solutions.
• In linear equations, both sides of the equation can contain linear expressions, which distinguishes
them from equations in previous classes where only a single number appeared on one side.
• Manipulating variables within the equation is permissible, allowing them to shift from one side to
the other.
5. Simplifying Equations:
• In some instances, equations need simplification before applying standard solution methods.

• Certain equations may not initially appear linear, but through multiplication by an appropriate
expression on both sides, they can be transformed into linear form.

6. Applications of Linear Equations:


• Linear equations have a wide array of practical applications, including addressing numerical
problems, age-related questions, perimeter calculations, and scenarios involving combinations of
currency notes.
7. Examples of Linear Equations:

• Age Problem: "The sum of Alice's age and Bob's age is 35. If Alice is 5 years older than Bob, find
their ages."
• Money Problem: "A wallet contains $50 in $5 and $10 notes. If there are a total of 7 notes, how
many of each note are there?"
Linear equations serve as a fundamental mathematical tool, enabling us to solve various real-world
problems. In this chapter, we will delve deeper into their principles and applications.
