All you have to remember is this. Reverse the operation. For example on this problem there is a -2 right? So reverse the operation and (REMEMBER:Always do what you did on one side to the other side) then you would have +2 on both sides. You do the same for variables and all of the numbers and result with 8x=2, so divide by 8 and get x=1/4

What is linear equation?<br> What is quadratic equation?

mr_godi [17]

in the linear equation the greatest power of the variables is 1 for example:2X+4 this is a linear equation as the greatest power of the variable X is 1 also by drawing it in a graph you will obtain a straight line
while in the quadratic equation the greatest power is 2 for instance:X^2+4X-3 this is a Quadratic equation because the greatest power of the variable X is 2 also by drawing it on a graph you will obtain a parabola which is a curve "an upward curve or downward curve"
