Important Topics in Class 10 Maths Chapter 3

  • Linear Equations are the equations in which the powers of all the involved variables are one. 
The general form of a linear equation in two variables is ax + by + c = 0, where a and b cannot be simultaneously zero.
  • The solution of a linear equation in two variables is generally a pair of values, one for x and the other for y, which makes the two sides of the equation equal.

For example: If 3x + y = 6, then (0,6) is one of its solutions as it satisfies the equation.
