What is Linear equation
Important things to remember :
1) Real numbers a and b (where a is not equal to zero) and x is a variable, So the equation ax + b = 0 is called one variable linear equation.
2) The left hand side of the equation ax + b = 0 is a linear polynomial and there is only one variable in that polynomial.
3) If a given equation converts to an equation of the form ax + b = 0, then it is said to be a linear equation in one variable.
4)The exponent of the x variable in the equation is one. These equations are like the general form of the linear equation ax + b = 0. So they are linear equations.
Linear equation example :
1) 5x - 12 = 0
2) 7x + 6 = 9x - 4
3) x + 9 = 4x.

Solve the equation :
1) The number by which both sides of the equation are equal in value. That number is said to satisfy the equation.
2) The number that satisfies the equation is called the solution of the equation.
3) The set of solutions of an equation is the set of solutions of that equation.

Questions with answer :
1) 2x = 18 then x =?
Ans. :
2x = 18
x = 18 / 2
therefore, x = 9.

2) 3x + 7 = 22 then x = ?
Ans. :
3x + 7 = 22
3x = 22 - 7
3x = 15
x = 15 / 3
therefore, x = 5.

3) x + 9 = 4x
Ans. :
x + 9 = 4x
9 = 4x - x
9 = 3x
x = 9 / 3
therefore , x = 3.

4) y - 4 = 3y - 10
Ans. :
10 - 4 = 3y - y
6 = 2y
y = 6 / 2
y = 3
therefore, y = 3.

5) ( 5x / 2 ) + 3 = 21 / 2
Ans. :
( 5x / 2 ) + 3 = 21 / 2
both sides multiples by 2, we get
5x + 6 = 21
5x = 21 - 6
5x = 15
x = 15 / 5
x = 3
therefore, x = 3.

6) ( y - 1 ) / 5 = y / 3
Ans. :
( y - 1 ) / 5 = y / 3
3 ( y - 1 ) = 5y
3y - 3 = 5y
3y - 5y = 3
- 2y  = 3
y = -3 / 2
therefore, y = - 3 / 2.

Series Order tricks, shortcuts and examples.

Series Order tricks : A category of three, four or some numbers is given in the competitive examination. There is a mutual relationship among these numbers. The same relationship has to be understand and the same basis is to be increased further. Examples : 1) What will be the next number in the following series. 3, 10, 31, 94, ----- Ans. : Each terms is increasing by : ( n × 3 ) + 1. Therefore, ( 3 × 3 ) + 1 = 10 ( 10 × 3 ) + 1 = 31 ( 31 × 3 ) + 1 = 94 ( 94 × 3 ) + 1 = 283 Therefore, next number : 283. 2) Find the next order in the category. 1, 4, 9, 16, ---- Ans. : Each term is a squares of consecutive numbers. therefore, 5 × 5 = 25. therefore, next number = 25. Examples : Q. What will be the next number in the following series .  1) 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, ---- Ans. : The difference in each term is increasing in the form of consecutive numbers. that is 3 + 3 = 6. 06 + 4 = 10. 10 + 5 = 15. 15 + 6 = 21. 21 + 7 = 28.

Ratio and Proportion : formulas, tricks | proportion and ratio examples

Ratio and Proportion : Ratio: In a cricket match, Sachin scored 160 runs and Rahul scored 80 runs. We can compare their scores in two ways : 1) By Subtraction : Sachin's score - Rahul's score = 160 - 80                                                  = 80 Thus, we see that Sachin has scored 80 runs more than Rahul. 2 ) By division : Let us see how many times Sachin's score is that of Rahul's. To do this, we shall divide Sachin's score by Rahul's. Sachin's score / Rahul's  score = 160 /  80 = 2 / 1. Thus, we see, that Sachin's score is 2 times Rahul's score. Definition of Ratio : "When two quantities are compared by division, then the quotient of that division is called a 'ratio'. The colon ':' is used to express a ratio." The ratio x/y is written as 'x:y' and is read as 'x  is to y'. In the ratio x : y , we call x as the first te...

Mode in statistics : Mode definition : For example, some data such as follows : 2, 1, 2, 5, 4, 2, 2, 7, 8, 2. Here, 2 value repeated 5 times that is repeated many times as compared another data. Therefore, 2 is Mode." It is straight forward to calculate mode in case of individual and discrete data.               Mean          Median         Quartile How do you find the mode of  Individual Data ? Que. 1) The following are the marks of 10 students. Calculate the mode. 60, 67, 76, 56, 77, 67, 48, 67, 89, 90. Ans. : Marks            : 48  56  60  67  76  77  89  90 Frequency   :  01  01  01  03  01  01  01  01 Here 67 mark repeated many times that is 3 times. therefore, Mode = 67. Que. 2)  The following are the height in cm of 12 students. Calculate the mode. ...
