How do you solve simple linear equations

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you mean how do you find linear equations. It is actually very simple when you memorize the formula. Linear equations are in the form of y = mx + b. m is the slope. b is the y-intercept.

ex. given: slope = 5, y-intercept = -3: our equation is y = 5x - 3

Slope is rise/run

y-intercept is (0,y) or you substitute.

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation:  

we have that:
