Equations with linear expressions in one variable only are known as linear equations in one variable.
An algebraic equation is an equality involving variables. It has an equality sign(=). The expression on the left of the equality sign is the Left Hand Side (LHS). The expression on the right of the equality sign is the Right Hand Side (RHS).

Solution:
Let Hasan bought 2x m of trouser material and 3x m of the shirt material.
Per metre selling price(S.P) of the trouser material = ₹90+90×12/100
= 90 + 1.2× 9
= 90 + 10.8
=₹100.80
Per metre selling price(S.P) of trouser of shirt material
= ₹50+ 50× 10/100
= ₹ 50 + 5
=₹55
Given: total amount of sale= ₹ 36660
100.80 x (2x) + 55 x (3x) = ₹36660
201.60 x + 165x = 36660
366.60 x = 36660
X= 36660/366.60
x = 100
Trouser material = 2x m = (2×100)m = 200m.
Hasan bought 200 m of trouser material.
