Question

The linear equation of a number increased by 2 gives 28 is​

Answer 1

Answer:

x + 2 = 28

Explanation:

let the number be x.

since it says "increase" we use an addition symbol. "gives" states that x+2 is equal to 28.

so its, $x + 2 = 28$

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the number be x

ax + 2 = 28 ( this is Equation (1) )

ax = 28 - 2

ax = 26

x = 26/a

here a can be any constant

Explanation:

Linear equation is of the form : ax + b = 0 ( where b can be zero but a is not equal to zero and X is a variable
