How to Do a Linear Equation
To solve a linear equation, rearrange it into the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, and then solve for the variable. Need to graph it? Plot y when x=0 for the y-intercept and use the slope m to determine how the line angles. Have fun solving away!

From experience, start by simplifying both sides of the equation, if needed, then use algebraic operations to get the variable alone. It's like peeling an onion, but less smelly!
First, identify the coefficients and constants. Then, transform the equation to isolate the variable. If you'll graph, use y=mx+b and remember: slope m tells how fast y changes with x!
Honestly, linear equations are just a fancy way of saying 'solve for x'. So find x and you'll be golden!
