How to solve “linear equations in disguise”?

“Linear equations in disguise” refer to equations that don’t initially appear to be linear but can be manipulated into a linear form. These equations might involve fractions, products, or other operations, but after simplification, they reveal their linear nature.

Steps to Solve Linear Equations in Disguise

1. Simplify the Equation:

• Remove any fractions by multiplying both sides by the least common denominator (LCD).
• Distribute any factors across parentheses.
• Combine like terms.

2. Isolate the Variable:

• Move all terms involving the variable to one side of the equation.
• Move all constant terms to the other side.

3. Solve for the Variable:

• Divide or multiply as needed to solve for the variable.

4. Check the Solution:

• Substitute your solution back into the original equation to ensure it satisfies the equation.
