Question

Is the following linear or non linear?*
3
x = y + 8
4
Yes
No

Answer 1

linear

Simplifying

3x + y = 84

Solving

3x + y = 84

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1y' to each side of the equation.

3x + y + -1y = 84 + -1y

Combine like terms: y + -1y = 0

3x + 0 = 84 + -1y

3x = 84 + -1y

Divide each side by '3'.

x = 28 + -0.3333333333y

Simplifying

x = 28 + -0.3333333333y
