What is a linear equation in math?

  • A linear equation only has one or two variables. No variable in a linear equation is raised to a power greater than 1 or used as the denominator of a fraction.
  • When you find pairs of values that make a linear equation true and plot those pairs on a coordinate grid, all of the points lie on the same line.

I spent a dollars at American Eagle, which is 4 more than the amount I spent at Banana Republic ( b ).

a = b + 4.  Therefore: b = a - 4

Also I spent 15 less at American Eagle than I spent in Cole Haan ( c ).

a = c - 15, or: c = a + 15.

75 - a - ( a - 4 ) - ( a + 15 ) = 75 - a - a + 4 - a - 15 =

= 64 - 3 a

Therefore, I have 64 - 3a dollars left after shopping at these three stores. Now we just have to know how much dollars I spent at American Eagle and we will have the amount in dollars.
