Resource type Linear Equations in One Variable Part 1
IPOD VIDEO: In this unit we give examples of simple linear equations and show you how these can be solved. In any equation there is an unknown quantity, x say, that we are trying to find. In a linear equation this unknown quantity will appear only as a multiple of x, and not as a function of x such as x squared, x cubed, sin x and so on. Linear equations occur so frequently in the solution of other problems that a thorough understanding of them is essential.

Quick Reference (4)

Resource type Linear relationships
In many business applications, two quantities are related linearly. This means a graph of their relationship forms a straight line. This leaflet discusses one form of the mathematical equation which describes linear relationships.
Resource type Simple linear equations
This leaflet shows how simple linear equations can be solved by performing the same operations on both sides of the equation.
Resource type Solving linear equations
Equations always involve one or more unknown quantities which we try to find when we solve the equation. The simplest equations to deal with are linear equations. On this leaflet we describe how these are solved.
Resource type Solving linear equations
This leaflet explains how simple linear equations are solved. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 2.12)
