2) Solution by multiplication

3) Collecting like terms

4) Distributive law

5) Rational expressions

 


A linear equation is an equation where all the variables are to the first power. The goal is always to get the variable by itself on one side of the equation. When we solve a linear equation, we apply the order of operations in reverse. That is, we add or subtract terms to both side of the equation to isolate the variable and then we use multiplication or division to get a coefficient of one next to the variable.
