Question

In a linear equation, the _________ power of the variable appearing in the equation is one.

Answer 1

Linear Equation: Linear equations are a combination of both constants and variables. The linear equations in one variable is an equation which can be expressed in the form $\mathrm{ax}+\mathrm{b}=0$, where $\mathrm{b}$and $\mathrm{a}$ are integers,$\mathrm{x}$ is a variable and the equation has only one solution. The linear equation has the highest exponent of variables as$1$ and has only one variable.

For example, $4\mathrm{x}+2=8$ is a linear equation having a single variable in it.

Therefore, this equation has only one solution, which is $\mathrm{x}=\frac{3}{2}$and the variable $\mathrm{x}$ of the this equation is having highest power as $1$.

Hence, in a linear equation, the highest power of the variable appearing in the equation is one.
