– Linear equations and linear equations with fractions.

I’m interested for personal reasons on how these mathematical operations work. I know they’re quite simple, but I never quite understood them, so it’s something that got stuck with me. Any explanations are welcome!

Can you please give an example of something you’re questioning?

A linear equation at heart is basically this, take X.

X can be any possible number in the world, any at all. Since X can be an infinity of values, but has no other dimensions, we can draw all the possible values can have on paper, and we call that “a line”.

Of all the infinity of X’s, I can define constraints that “lock” X down to a single, specific number along the X line. That definition usually comes to students in the form of a math equation 2X + 3 -7 = 4. Of all the possible infinite values of X, there is only a single value that makes this equation “true”, since I’m working with a line, and an equation, we call this logic “Linear equations” or “linear algebra”.
