★ Must-know
📌 A numerical equation contains known numbers, whereas an algebraic equation expresses an equality using one or more variables.
Further detail
To identify the variable in an equation, locate the letter or letters whose values are unknown.
The numerical equation 7 + 7 = 12 can be expressed using a variable by replacing an unknown number with a letter.
A numerical equation has known numbers, whereas an algebraic equation includes a variable.
Linear equation : an equation in which the maximum power of any variable is 1
The equation 5x² + 4y = 0 is not linear because the power of x is 2, which is greater than 1.
