LINEAR EQUATION

Solve the following linear equations

Example : a) y – 5 = 12
2x + 3 = 9
2x = 9 – 3
2x = 6
x=3

b) w + 4 = 8 c) m – 6 = -12

d) 2x + 5 = -11 e) 3y – 9 = 18

f) 4p + 16 = 20 g) 7q – 20 = 1

h) 2m – 3 = 3m + 7 i) 3y + 5 = 2y - 3

j) 3x + 12 = 5x - 8 k) p + 5 = 4p + 17

Example :
a) =3
=3

= -3
n = (-3)(2)
n=6

b) +3=5 c) - 12 = -5

d) 4 + =6 e) 3 - = -2

f) 2 = -8 g) 10 = 7 -

Example :
a) - 12 = 3x
+ 4 = 2n

[ + 4 = 2n] 2
5n + 8 = 4n
5n – 4n = -8
n = -8
