$184$ is divided into two parts such that one-third of one part exceeds one-seventh of the other part by $8$, then the greater part is

A statement of equality involving one or more variables (literals) is called an equation.

2. Linear Equation in One Variable:

An equation involving only one literal number (variable) with the highest power one is called a linear equation in one variable.

3. In Solving an equation, we can,

(i) add the same number to both sides of the equation.

(ii) subtract the same number from both sides of the equation.

(iii) multiply both sides of the equation by the same non-zero number.

(iv) divide both sides of the equation by the same non-zero number.

4. Transposition:

In an equation, we can move a term from one side to the other side with the opposite sign. This process is known as transposition.
