what is the difference between algebraic equations and linear equations????

Answer :

Algebraic equations :  The equations combination of a constant term (  any number )  and a variable (  alphabets ) .

And we can have algebric equations As :

x  +  y  =  5

x²  -  2x  + 5 = 0

Or

3xy

Or

5xy + 3x²

So basically any type of equation can be called as algebraic equation .


Linear equation :  We can say linear equation is a type of algebraic equation , And we can say all linear equations are algebraic equations , But not all algebraic equations are linear equations  .
So
" A linear equation is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and (the first power of) a single variable. "

x  +  y  =  3  is a linear equation

And
x²  -  2x  + 5 = 0  is not a linear equation
