What is a linear equation?

A Linear Equation is an equation of a line. An equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1. 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.

For  the given situation,

The number of cans of black paint be x, and

The number of cans of white paint be y.

The equation is y = 2x.

Marcy mix 5 cans of black paint with white paint to create storm clouds.

⇒ [tex]y=2(5)[/tex]
