Key Concepts

Linear Equation

A linear equation is an algebraic equation in which the highest power of the variable is one. It represents a straight line when graphed and is used to model relationships with constant rates of change.

Substitution Method

The substitution method involves replacing a variable in an equation with a known value or another expression. This simplifies the equation and makes it possible to solve for an unknown variable by reducing it to a simpler form.

Solving for a Variable

Solving for a variable means isolating that variable on one side of the equation through algebraic manipulation. This process includes operations such as adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing both sides of the equation, ensuring the variable stands alone and its value can be determined.
