Example

x y = 2x + 1

-1 y = 2 × (-1) + 1 = -1

0 y = 2 × 0 + 1 = 1

1 y = 2 × 1 + 1 = 3

2 y = 2 × 2 + 1 = 5

Solving a linear equation usually means finding the value of y for a given value of x. If the equation is already in the form y = mx + b, with x and y variables and m and b rational numbers, then the equation can be solved in algebraic terms😘
