"Linear" means line. A linear equation in 2-dimensional space can be written in the form y = mx + b, where m and b are constants, but you can generalize to higher dimensions. In terms of solving it, it depends on what you want to solve.

You should look up resources online, or in your textbook, before posting a vague question.
