Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Question

Read the following word problem, then choose which linear equation models the problem.
Caleb decreases a number by 6 and then multiplies it by 2. He gets the same answer as when he subtracts 8 from the original
number. What is the number?
O 6- 2n = 8 -n
O 6(2 – n) = 8 - n
O 2(n – 6) = n - 8
O 2n - 6 = n - 8
