What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

Let's suppose the store owner mixed x pounds of pistachios and

(200-x) pounds of walnuts, then a linear equation can be framed:

The total mixture cost = 200×5 = 1000

Now,

6x + 4(200-x) = 1000

x = 100 pounds

200 - 100 = 100 pounds

Thus, the store owner needs to mixed 100 pounds of pistachios and 100 pounds of walnuts if the store owner will charge 5 dollars for the mixture.
