Solving Linear Equations

• A linear equation is a form of Y=MX+B

• Y represents the distance of the line

• M is slope

• B is the Y intercept

• Find variable that makes equation true
    * A variable is a quantity that can be changed
• Use the inverse of the number than multiplies the variable, and multiply or divide both sides by it
    * simplify the result to get the variable value
• check your answer by plugging it back into the equation
