Overview

Engineering reference data for First Degree Equation With One Unknown in miscellaneous.

$y = x \cdot k$

Multiply by conversion factor.

$y = y_1 + \frac{(x - x_1)(y_2 - y_1)}{x_2 - x_1}$

Estimate between two known points.

$p = \frac{\text{part}}{\text{whole}} \times 100\%$

Part as fraction of whole.

Consider the first degree equation with one unknown:

$22x - 10 = 12x + 20$

To solve, rearrange by moving variable terms to one side and constants to the other:

$22x - 12x = 20 - (-10)$

Simplify both sides:

$(22 - 12)x = 30$

$10x = 30$

Divide both sides by 10 to isolate $x$ :

$x = \frac{30}{10} = 3$

Thus, the solution is $x = 3$ .
