Can someone give me an example of a linear equation?

Question

anonymous · Answer

x + 2y = 7
y = 3x - 18
a - b = 92.3
m = 4n -1800

There's 4 examples

anonymous · Answer

You need two variables (letters)...there can't be any exponents or square roots on the variables..the variables can't be in the denominators of fractions. That's about it.

anonymous · Answer

ohh.. and the variables can't be multiplied by one another.
for examplbe 3 = 2xy - 8 is not a linear equation

What about a function?

anonymous · Answer

f(x) = 2x -18
g(m) = m^2 -27
There's 2 examples.
