Linear Equation in One Variable Examples
Example 1 : Solve for x, 2x – 4 = 0
Solution:
Add 4 both sides
2x – 4 + 4 = 0 + 4
2x = 4
Divide each side by 2, we get
2x/2 = 4/2
x = 4/2 = 2
So, x = 2 is the answer.
Example 2: Solve 12m – 10 = 6
Solution:
12m – 10 = 6
Add 10 both sides
12m – 10 + 10 = 6 + 10
12m = 16
Divide each side by 12, we get
12m/12 = 16/12
m = 16/12 = 4/3
Answer: m = 4/3
