Here you will find out how to solve various types of linear equations. Linear equations can be broken down to the form ax+b=c where a, b and c are constants. It is important to understand the meaning of terms in an expression or equation so do take a look at the first video and also the difference between an identity and an equation.

You are taken through basic equations with two terms and then this is extended to three terms, with brackets and fractional types introduced. After most tutorials you will find a summary exercise which I would encourage you to try.
