are 2x=10
and 6+x=7 linear equations?

Question

are 2x=10 
and 6+x=7 linear equations?

directrix · Answer

They are vertical lines which are linear equations.

2x=10  simplifies to x = 5.

What does this one simplify to: 6+x=7  @Georgia_peach

Note: Vertical lines do not have slope, or, as some say, vertical lines have undefined slope.

agent0smith · Answer

Linear equations only have multiplication or division of variables by constants, as well as addition and subtraction.

eg. 4x-y=0, y=7x-2, y/5+x/7=1

if you see something like x^2, or y^2, or sqrt(x), or xy or yx etc... the equation is NOT linear

agent0smith · Answer

You also can not have an x or y in a denominator, like 1/y or 2/x would make the equation not linear.

kk... Thanks yall, I understand  it pretty much better now.

directrix · Answer

@agent0smith and I were happy to assist you.

anonymous · Answer

y = 3x - 6 So if I'm right this is a equation

agent0smith · Answer

it's a LINEAR equation, yes.

agent0smith · Answer

An equation just needs an equals sign.
