Good Day to all,
Today we are learning about Linear Expressions. What are these you ask.... Well take a second to look at the word linear.
Do you see a smaller word in it? Maybe line????
Well, math usually is that obvious, as we will be talking a great deal about Lines in the very near future, but for now the authors describe linear expressions as an algebraic expressions where the variable is not raised to a power
and only added and subtracted from each other. Phew!

Examples: 3x+2, x-7 are linear, but 3x^2 +2 is not a linear expression. Doesn't that clear up all the confusion?
Heeheehee..... remember when I asked you to look at the word, Linear and you saw Line in it? Well a linear expression is where you would get a line if you were to graph it -
we will be doing this soon.
we will be doing this soon.
Don't worry, it sounds harder than it is.
