Holt Algebra 2

2-1 Solving Linear Equations and Inequalities

An equation is a mathematical statement that two expressions are equivalent. The solution set of an equation is the value or values of the variable that make the equation true. A linear equation in one variable can be written in the form ax = b, where a and b are constants and a ≠ 0.

Linear Equations in One variable

Nonlinear Equations

4x = 8

3x – = –9

2x – 5 = 0.1x +2

Notice that the variable in a linear equation is not under a radical sign and is not raised to a power other than 1. The variable is also not an exponent and is not in a denominator.

Solving a linear equation requires isolating the variable on one side of the equation by using the properties of equality.

You have solved equations that have a single solution. Equations may also have infinitely many solutions or no solution.

An equation that is true for all values of the variable, such as x = x, is an identity. An equation that has no solutions, such as 3 = 5, is a contradiction because there are no values that make it true.

An inequality is a statement that compares two expressions by using the symbols <, >, ≤, ≥, or ≠. The graph of an inequality is the solution set, the set of all points on the number line that satisfy the inequality.

The properties of equality are true for inequalities, with one important difference. If you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol.
