As long as you don't have roots or square roots or any powers to the function then the function of x=y should be true, according to your website. Although it is not true for all statement, it is only for linear equations.

@Osako  In general form, the linear equation x = y  would be written as follows:

1x + (-1)y + 0 = 0.   Do you agree?

anonymous · Answer

As long as the equation doesn't consist of power or roots then yes that equation may work.

directrix · Answer

If there were powers and roots, the equation would not be linear by definition of linear equation.
