What in mathematics is a linear equation?

  • A linear equation is a first-order (linear) term plus a constant in the algebraic form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
  • The variables in the preceding equation are y and x, and it is occasionally referred to as a "linear equation of two variables."

Let Shirley's time = x

Let Craig's time  = 5x

(5x + x)/2 = 5

We split up the hours by 2 because we want to find out how much time individually.

6x/2 = 5

6x = 10

 x = 1.66

Shirley takes 1.66 hours to paint the deck alone.
