Example 1: Solving Linear Equations

Step-by-step worked example for this lesson track.

Problem

Solve 8x+4=60\text{Solve }8x+4=60

1. Recognize Pattern

ax+b=c⇒x=c−baax+b=c\Rightarrow x=\frac{c-b}{a}

2. Apply Method

−5x+12=−13⇒x=5-5x+12=-13\Rightarrow x=5

3. Conclude

x=7x=7

Final answer

x=7x=7
