Open in App

Solution

An equation which has only one variable whose highest power is one is called a linear equation in one variable.
Example-: $3 a = 6, 2 x - 5 = 0$ etc.
Since, the given equation $3 x = 5$ has one variable (i.e. $x$ ) whose highest power is one.
Hence, the given equation $3 x = 5$ is a linear equation in one variable.
