write a quick example of a linear equation

1 answer

Sure! An example of a linear equation is:

\[ 2x + 3 = 11 \]

In this equation, \(2x\) represents the variable \(x\) multiplied by 2, and 3 is a constant. The equation is set equal to 11. You can solve for \(x\) by isolating it:

  1. Subtract 3 from both sides: \[ 2x = 8 \]

  2. Divide by 2: \[ x = 4 \]

So, \(x = 4\) is the solution to the equation.
