Math Solve equations Equations

Equations

Again and again you will work with equations in mathematics. For this you have to know the different types and their solution methods.

Types of equations

TypeExample
Linear equations $3x+6=0$
Quadratic equations $2x^2-4x+8=0$
Cubic equations $x^3+5x^2+4x+2=0$
Fractional equations $\frac{5x}{3x+15}=10$
Exponential equations $3^x=27$
Logarithm equations $\log x=2$

Solve equations

The solution method depends on the type of equation.
