Linear Equations: Class 8 Mathematics Worksheet

A linear equation has one unknown raised only to the power 1, and solving it means doing the same thing to both sides until x is on its own. Practice covers brackets, unknowns on both sides, fractions like x/3 + 2 = 7 and decimals such as 0.5x + 1 = 4. Students answer a multiple choice section and then fill in the value of x for a further set of equations, scored out of 15.
