Remember when you realized that math wasn\u2019t just numbers? Suddenly letters were involved, too? It\u2019s at that point that you started to learn algebra. Depending on how long ago your memory is drifting back to, you might be rusty on this whole basic algebra thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the SAT Math section, there\u2019s a set of questions called The Heart of Algebra<\/a>. Essentially, this is all about the fundamentals of algebra. And, at the very beginning of all algebra concepts is linear equations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are Linear Equations?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Linear equations make straight lines on graphs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makes sense, right? Linear = straight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason linear equations make straight lines when graphed is because they don\u2019t have exponents. No exponents mean we\u2019re always going to have a straight line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a real SAT, you\u2019ll likely find 2-4 questions that test how to solve linear equations. They could be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
