<h3>★ <u>Required Answer:-</u></h3>
<u>First, what is an equation?</u>
➳ A mathematical statement which shows that two algebraic expressions are equal is called and equation.
Or, LHS = RHS
<u>Example</u>:- 3x - 5 = x + 8
An equation is said to be a linear equation if it contains only one variable (literal) with highest power 1.
<h2>_______________________</h2><u>Solving an equation:-</u>
To solve the equation x + 5 = 7 means to find the value of an unknown algebraic quantity used in the equation.
<u>Example</u>:-
- To solve the equation x + 5 = 7 means to find the value of x.
- To solve the equation 3y + 2 = 9 means to find the value of y.
- To solve the equation
means to find the value of a ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀and so on!

★ <u>Rules for solving an equation by the substitution method:-</u>
Rule ❶
If x = 2, the value of the expression 3x + 2 = 3 × 2 + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8
Rule ❷
If x = 0, the value of the expression 3x + 2 = 3 × 0 + 2 = 0 + 2 = 2
Rule ❸
If x = -2, the value of the expression 3x + 2 = 3 × -2 + 2 = -6 + 2 = -4
Now consider the algebraic expression 5x - 2y
This expression consists of variables x and y.
Now if :-
- x = 3 and y = 2, 5x - 2y = 5 × 3 2 × 2 = 15 - 4 = 11
- x = 8 and y = 5, 5x - 2y = 5 × 8 - 2 × 5 = 40 - 10 = 30

The process of finding the value of an algebraic expression by substituting the given value of its variable is called substitution.⠀⠀
