Linear Equations
A linear equation has the form:
ax + b = c

The simplest method of solution is by isolation of the x on one side of the equal to sign.
(Move all da x's on one side!)

Example 1.
If x – 5 = 2
then
x = 2 + 5
x = 7

Example 2.
If x + 3 = -1
then
x = -1 -3
x = -4

Example 3.

Example 4.

Example 5.

Example 6.
3(x-2) +1 = 16
3(x-2) = 16 -1
3(x-2) = 15
x-2 = 5
x = 7
