(C). It is an equation because it includes an equals sign, and it is not linear because the left side is a polynomial in standard form with an x^2 term, which the right side is constant.

you can write it as
(2sqrt2*x+3)(2sqrt2*x-3)=0
so
2sqrt2*x+3=0 and 2sqrt2*x-3 = 0
These are two linear equations but the given equation is NOT linear
