Chapter 1, Problem 6
CONCEPT PREVIEW Which one is not a linear equation? A. 5x + 7 (x - 1) = -3x B. 9x² - 4x + 3 = 0 C. 7x + 8x = 13 D. 0.04x - 0.08x = 0.40
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall that a linear equation in one variable x is an equation where the highest power of x is 1. This means the equation can be written in the form \(ax + b = 0\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are constants.
Examine option A: \(5x + 7 (x - 1) = -3x\). First, expand the parentheses: \(5x + 7x - 7 = -3x\). Then combine like terms to check if the equation is linear.
Look at option B: \(9x^{2} - 4x + 3 = 0\). Notice the term \$9x^{2}\(, which has \)x$ raised to the power of 2. This indicates the equation is quadratic, not linear.
Check option C: \(7x + 8x = 13\). Combine like terms to get \(15x = 13\), which is a linear equation since the highest power of \(x\) is 1.
Review option D: \(0.04x - 0.08x = 0.40\). Combine like terms to get \(-0.04x = 0.40\), which is linear as well.

Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Definition of a Linear Equation
A linear equation is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and a single variable raised to the first power. It forms a straight line when graphed and does not include variables with exponents other than one.

Categorizing Linear Equations
Identifying Non-Linear Terms
Non-linear terms include variables raised to powers other than one, such as squares or higher exponents, or variables multiplied together. Recognizing these terms helps distinguish linear equations from quadratic or other polynomial equations.
