Given equation is $\"\"$ .

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

Apply subtraction property of equality: Subtract b from each side.

$\"\"$

Apply commutative property of addition: $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$

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

Apply addition property of equality: Add 2 to each side.

$\"\"$

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

$\"\"$ (Add $\"\"$ to each side)

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

The equation is now in standard form where A = 3, B = 0 and C = 2.

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