Values of x and y which satisfy the linear equation are called solutions of linear equation.
Let us take linear equation
x + y = 5
We find 4 different solutions of the linear equation

     x  | 
   
     0  | 
   
     5  | 
   
     1  | 
   
     4  | 
  
| 
     y  | 
   
     5  | 
   
     0  | 
   
     4  | 
   
     1  | 
  
So four solutions of the given equation are:
(0, 5), (5, 0) , (1, 4) and (4, 1).
Similarly, we can get many solutions
For a linear equation, there are infinitely many solutions.
