An example of linear equation is y=mx + b. noun. 20.
A polynomial equation of the first degree (such as x = 2y - 7)

Given,

Total children are in the train = 40

1/8 are children in train and no of children in train ,

∴ 1/8 × x = 40

x = 40 × 8 ⇒ 320

The no of passenger in train = 320

in total passenger, 40 are children .

So, rest adults passengers are = 320 - 40 ⇒ 280

There fore, 280 adults were there in the train.
