Question

In linear equations, which is the maximum power of the variable and how?

Answer 1

Define linear equations:

1. The equations of straight lines are called linear equations.
2. The standard form of a linear equation in one variable is $Ax+B=C$.
3. The standard form of a linear equation in two variables is $Ax+By=C$.
4. The highest power of each variable ($x$ and $y$) in a linear equation is $1$.

Hence, by the standard rules, the maximum power of the variable in a linear equation is $1$.
