Given equation is .

Rewrite the equation in the form Ax + By = C.

          (Multiply each side by 3)

    (Apply distributive property: )         

            (Cancel common terms) \ \

                              (Multiply: ) \ \

      (Add 2x to each side)

         (Apply commutative property: )

                      (Apply additive inverse property: )

                        (Apply  additive identity property: )

The equation is now in standard form where A = 2 , B =3  and  C = .

This is a linear equation.

Equation is a linear equation.
