What is a linear equation?
An equation that represents a straight-line relationship between variables.
An equation in which the highest power of the variable is one
An equation that shows a constant rate of change.
x + 2 = 1
Solve the equation for x
x = -1
Evaluate the expression x - 9 for x = 5
-4

What is the solution of this system of linear equations?
(2, 3)

Is (3, 1) a solution? Explain.
No, because the lines do not intersect at that point. The lines are parallel so there are no solutions.
How many variables are needed for a 3×3 system of equations to have a solution?
A 3×3 system of equations needs maximun three variables to have a solution.
(x/4) = 6
Solve the equation for x
x = 24
