Question

Why is 1/2x + 1/3y = 2 not a linear equation ?
Can we say x/y + 4 = 2 a linear equation ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Take the attachment and Explanation for better understanding.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to understand the definition of Linear equation.

A linear equation is an equation of two variable with each term of degree one (power of each term should only be one.)

Equation 1:

If we simply solve the equation, we get

12xy -2x -3y = 0

The term 12xy has degree two. So, it does not satisfy the definition of Linear equation.

Equation 2:

If we simply solve the equation, we get

x - 2y = 0

Each term in this equation has degree one. So, this is a Linear Equation.

Hope you find the best answer.
