Answer 1

Linear equations

The graphical representation of a linear equation is a straight line.

To solve linear equations, it is important to keep in mind the following key concepts:

• Maintain the balance of the equation by applying the same operations to both sides of the equation.
• Clear the variable by grouping like terms.
• Use inverse operations to order the equation.

`\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf (5)/(7)=p+(4)/(7) \ \Rightarrow \ \ Exercise \ to \ solve. \end{gathered}$}`

Subtract 4/7 from both sides.

`\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{(5)/(7)\blue{-(4)/(7) }=p+(4)/(7)\blue{-(4)/(7) } } \end{gathered}$}`

Simplify

Subtract the numbers

`\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{(1)/(7)=p+(4)/(7)-(4)/(7) } \end{gathered}$}`

Subtract the numbers

`\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{(1)/(7)=p } \end{gathered}$}`

The variable is moved to the left.

`\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{p=(1)/(7) \ \ === > \ \ Answer } \end{gathered}$}`
