'blank' + 3 = 5 You've seen this problem before when you were young. A linear equasion is just plugging an 'x' into the blank. We have been doing linear equasions for the past three weeks. An example of one of the linear equasions we have been working on is: "x - 5 = 3 - 1 + x" As you know, you must get 'x' on one side by itself and everything else on the other. You can tell something is a linear equation because none of the numbers will be squared, cubed or anything else like that. Also when you graph it, it will form a line with no curves or angles.
