Hi. I have a concern about linear equations. Can you explain to me about what they are and some examples to give me an idea of what it is.
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "y is normally recognized as a variable whose value depends on the value of x.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "For a linear equation, y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Examples::
\n" ); document.write( "If shirts cost $10 each and you have bought 3 of them
\n" ); document.write( "y = 10*x is the general equation for this situation.
\n" ); document.write( "y is the cost of x shirts.
\n" ); document.write( "If x = 3, y = 10*3 = $30.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "If jim is 8 yrs older than twice mary's age,
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2m + 8
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Then, if mary is 4 yrs old,
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2*4+8 = 16 yrs is jim's age.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "If you Google \"linear equations\" you will get more
\n" ); document.write( "information and see more examples.
