Linear equation: A linear equation is an algebraic equation of the form y=mx+b. involving only a constant and a first-order (linear) term, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Occasionally, the above is called a "linear equation of two variables," where y and x are the variables.
Quadratic equations : The polynomial equation whose highest degree is two is called a quadratic equation or sometimes just quadratics. It is expressed in the form of:
ax² + bx + c = 0
Simultaneous equations : two or more unknown quantities and two or more equations relating to them. These are called Simultaneous Equations.
For example : 2x + y = 10 and x - y = 2 are simultaneous equations.
