An equation of one variable and of first order (i.e., its highest power is one) is called a Linear equation. Such an equation has only one solution. A solution is also called the 'root' of the given equation.

Solve
x/4-(x-3)/6=1
Multiplying throughout by the LCM of the denominators (which is 12):
12*(x/4)-12(x-3)/6=12*1
3x - 2 (x - 3) = 12
3x - 2x + 6 = 12
x = 12 - 6
x = 6
