What is linear equation in one variable?

The linear equations in one variable is an equation which is expressed in the form of ax + b = 0, where a and b are two integers, and x is a variable and has only one solution.

Let the number be x.

According to the given question.

[tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] of number is 175.

The linear equation in one variable of the above statement is given by

[tex]\frac{5}{8}(x) = 175[/tex]

Solve the above linear equation in one variable for x.

[tex]\frac{5}{8} x = 175[/tex]

⇒ [tex]5x = 175(8)[/tex]             ( multiplying both the sides by 8)

⇒ [tex]5x = 1400[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x = \frac{1400}{5}[/tex]               ( dividing both the sides by 5)

⇒ [tex]x =280[/tex]

Hence, the number is 280.
