Question

Is the equation `28+146x=102x` linear in `x`?

Answer 1

`44x = -28` is a linear equation in `x`

Explanation:

A linear equation means one which can be shown as a straight line.
It is an equation in which the highest power is 1.

The index must not be negative, nor 2, 3, etc.

Even if there are two variables, the equation can be linear, as long as the variables are just `x, y`, and not `1/x, y^2, x^3 etc`

This equation can be simplified to `44x =-28`
