Linear Equation
an equation is linear if
a1 x1 + a2 x2 + · · · + an xn = b
ai : parameters, xi : variables (i = 1, 2, · · · , n)
math
Linear Equation
For example

Associative Laws:
(A + B) + C = A + (B + C); (AB)C = A(BC)
Commutative Law for addition:
A+B =B+A
Distributive Laws: A(B + C) = AB + AC;
(A + B)C = AC + BC
