\"\"\"\"

\

Given equation is \"\".

\

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

\

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

\

\"\"  (Add \"\"to each side)

\

 

\

\"\"   (Commutative property: a+b=b+a)

\

\"\"                      (Additive inverse property: \"\")

\

\"\"                             (Additive identity property: \"\")\"\"

\

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

\

This is a linear equation.\"\"

\

Option A is correct.
