What is linear equation ?

  • 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.

The cost of magazines =

3.95(3) + 8.95b = 47.65

11.85 + 8.95b = 47.65

Subtract 11.85 from both sides.

8.95b = 35.8

Divide 8.95 from both sides.

b = 4

Therefore, Hugh bough 4 books.
