Given equation is \"\" \ \

\

Rewrite the equation in the form Am + Bn = C.

\

\"\"          (Add 8m to each side)

\

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

\

\"\"                                      (Add: \"\") \ \

\

\"\"                     (Subtract 7n from each side) \ \

\

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

\

Rewrite the equation so that both variables are on the same side of the equation.

\

\"\"                     (Subtract 4 from each side)

\

\"\"                     (Commutative property of addition: \"\")

\

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

\

The equation is now in standard form where A = 6, B = \"\"7, and C = \"\"4.

\

This is a linear equation.\"\"

\

Equation is a linear equation.
