FAQs on RS Aggarwal Solutions: Linear Equation in One Variable - Mathematics (Maths) Class 6
| 1. What is a linear equation in one variable? |  |
Ans. A linear equation in one variable is an equation that can be written in the form ax + b = 0, where 'x' is the variable, 'a' and 'b' are constants, and 'a' is not equal to 0.
| 2. How do you solve a linear equation in one variable? | |
Ans. To solve a linear equation in one variable, follow these steps:
1. Simplify the equation by removing any parentheses or fractions.
2. Combine like terms on both sides of the equation.
3. Get rid of any constants on one side by adding or subtracting.
4. Isolate the variable on one side by performing inverse operations.
5. Solve for the variable by dividing both sides by the coefficient of the variable.
6. Check the solution by substituting it back into the original equation.
| 3. Can a linear equation have more than one solution? | |
Ans. No, a linear equation in one variable can have at most one solution. This means that there can be only one value of the variable that satisfies the equation. If there are multiple solutions, it means that the equation is not linear or that it has been incorrectly solved.
| 4. What is the importance of linear equations in one variable? | |
Ans. Linear equations in one variable are important in various fields of mathematics and real-life applications. They help in solving problems involving unknown quantities and relationships between variables. They are used in financial calculations, physics, engineering, and many other areas where relationships can be represented by a straight line.
| 5. Can a linear equation in one variable have no solution? | |
Ans. Yes, a linear equation in one variable can have no solution. This happens when the equation leads to a contradiction, such as 2 = 3 or 0 = 1. In such cases, there is no value of the variable that satisfies the equation, and it is said to have no solution.
