\

The equation is $\"\"$ .

\

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

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply each side by 2)

\

$\"\"$ (Apply distributive property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract 2y from each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Apply commutative property of addition: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive inverse property: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract 6 from each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive identity property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ ) \ \ $\"\"$

\

The equation is now in standard form where A = 1 , B = $\"\"$ 2, and C = $\"\"$ 6.

\

This is a linear equation. $\"\"$
