★ Required Answer:-
First, what is an equation?
➳ A mathematical statement which shows that two algebraic expressions are equal is called and equation.
Or, LHS = RHS
Example:- 3x – 5 = x + 8
An equation is said to be a linear equation if it contains only one variable (literal) with highest power 1.
_______________________
Solving an equation:-
To solve the equation x + 5 = 7 means to find the value of an unknown algebraic quantity used in the equation.
Example:-
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
★ Rules for solving an equation by the substitution method:–
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 :-
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The process of finding the value of an algebraic expression by substituting the given value of its variable is called substitution.⠀⠀
