Exercise 56 Page 595

Can you write the equation in standard form?

Linear? No

Practice makes perfect

To determine if the given equation is a linear equation, let's first see if we can rewrite it in standard form. Ax+ By= C In this form, A, B, and C are constants and either A or B must be nonzero. 6xy+3x=4 Notice that since xy has two variables, the equation cannot be written in the form Ax+By=C. Therefore, this is not a linear equation.
