What is linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

It is given that:

Delia went to a market to buy 4.5 pounds of sliced fruit in a container,

She paid with a $20 bill and a $5 bill and received $4.67 as change she paid $1.62 in taxes for the fruit

Total = 20+5=25

x = (25 - 4.67)/4.5

x = 20.33/4.5

x = $4.51

Thus, the cost for one pound of sliced fruit before taxes is $4.51 if Delia went to a market to buy 4.5 pounds of sliced fruit in a container.
