How do you solve it?
2007-07-17 08:35:35 · update #1
no, it is a point
2x+3-3=8-3
2x=5
x=2.5
linear is a line:
y=(a multipul)x+(constant)
ie
y=mx+c

It is a linear equation, because the only exponent of the unknown quantity (x, in this case) is 1.
Remember that
x^1 = x
So, the left side of the equation is linear, and the right side is just a constant value (8). Therefore, the equation as a whole is linear.

yes, it is. The degree of the equation is 1, so it's linear.
