Question

State which of the following are equation? Also identify linear equation and justify your answer.

$\text{2 × 4x - 8 = 2}$

Answer 1

Equations is an equality that involves one or more unknown values and an equation with variable of power $\text{1}$ is called linear equation.

$\text{2 × 4x - 8 =2}$ is a Linear equation

$\text{8x - 8 = 2}$

As there is $=$sign between L.H.S and R.H.S.

And degree of variable $\mathrm{x}$ is $1$

Hence, $\text{2 × 4x - 8 =2}$ is a linear equation.
