Solution

Solutions of any linear equation.

An algebraic equation with two variables and both the variable have degree one then it is known as a linear equation involving two variables.

The standard form of a linear equation having two variables:

ax+by+c=0, where a,b,cR and a,b0.

An example of linear equations in two variables is given as :

-7x+y=8

The value of variables x and yare the roots of this linear equation.

The roots are also known as the solutions of linear equations.

Hence, finding the value of a variable in a linear equation that satisfies the equation is called a root of the equation.
