Linear Equations Formulas — Class 8 CBSE

Solve linear equations with variables on both sides; apply to word problems.

Key Formulas

Standard Form

ax + b = 0, \quad a \neq 0

Solution

x = -\dfrac{b}{a}

Cross Multiplication

\dfrac{a}{b} = \dfrac{c}{d} \implies ad = bc

Worked Examples

1Using: Supplementary Angles

If one angle is 65 degrees, find its supplement.

Step 1: Supplement = 180 - 65

Step 2: = 115 degrees.

Answer: 115 degrees

2Using: Vertically Opposite

Two lines intersect. If one angle is 40 degrees, find the vertically opposite angle.

Step 1: Vertically opposite angles are equal.

Step 2: The angle = 40 degrees.

Answer: 40 degrees
