Question

Describe the steps needed to solve a linear equation in the form px + q = r, where x is the variable and p, q, and r are rational numbers. Describe the steps needed to solve a linear equation in the form px + q = r, where x is the variable and p, q, and r are rational numbers.

Answer 1

The steps for solving a one-variable linear equations of the given form are as follows;

Solving linear equations;

The first step is;

Subtract rational number, q from both sides of the equation so that we have;

• px = r-q

The next step is;

Divide both sides of the equation by rational number, p so that we have;

• x = (r-q)/p.
