❓ FAQs

Q1: How do I solve a linear equation?
✅ Use the formula x = -b / a.

Q2: What happens if a = 0?
✅ If a = 0 and b ≠ 0, the equation has no solution. If a = 0 and b = 0, the equation has infinite solutions.

Q3: Can linear equations have multiple solutions?
✅ Only if the equation is trivially true for all x (e.g., 0 = 0).

Q4: Where are linear equations commonly used?
✅ Linear equations are used in **finance, physics, engineering, and programming**.

Q5: Why are linear equations important?
✅ They help in **solving real-world problems involving relationships between variables**.
