Linear equation in one variable: An equation whose variable's highest degree is 1.

• The general form of linear equation is ax + b = c
• where a,b, and c are any real numbers, a≠ 0.
• Example: 3y - 5 = 7, 1/3z = 7, t/9 = 4 etc.
• Solving a linear equation: Finding the unknown variable value in the given equation is called 'Solving a linear equation.'
• The solutions can be verified or checked by substituing the unknown variable value back in the equation.
