In this chapter, you will explore linear equations, develop a strategy for solving them, and relate them to real-world situations.
- 2.1: Prelude to Solving Linear Equations Law enforcement and the military are using drones rather than send personnel into dangerous situations. Building and piloting a drone requires the ability to program a set of actions, including taking off, turning, and landing. This, in turn, requires the use of linear equations.

Introduction
Chapter outline.
For years, doctors and engineers have worked to make artificial limbs, such as this hand for people who need them. This particular product is different, however, because it was developed using a 3D printer. As a result, it can be printed much like you print words on a sheet of paper. This makes producing the limb less expensive and faster than conventional methods.
Biomedical engineers are working to develop organs that may one day save lives. Scientists at NASA are designing ways to use 3D printers to build on the moon or Mars. Already, animals are benefitting from 3D-printed parts, including a tortoise shell and a dog leg. Builders have even constructed entire buildings using a 3D printer.
The technology and use of 3D printers depend on the ability to understand the language of algebra. Engineers must be able to translate observations and needs in the natural world to complex mathematical commands that can provide directions to a printer. In this chapter, you will review the language of algebra and take your first steps toward working with algebraic concepts.

8.1 - Solve Equations using the Subtraction and Addition Properties of Equality. In the following exercises, determine whether the given number is a solution to the equation. x + 16 = 31, x = 15. w − 8 = 5, w = 3. −9n = 45, n = 54. 4a = 72, a = 18. In the following exercises, solve the equation using the Subtraction Property of Equality.
Solve a System of Linear Equations by Graphing. In this section, we will use three methods to solve a system of linear equations. The first method we'll use is graphing. The graph of a linear equation is a line. Each point on the line is a solution to the equation. For a system of two equations, we will graph two lines.
The purpose in solving an equation is to find the value or values of the variable that makes it a true statement. Any value of the variable that makes the equation true is called a solution to the equation.
