Determine whether each equation is linear or nonlinear Expla

Determine whether each equation is linear or nonlinear. Explain 5x^2 + 14x = 0 15(x + 3) = 7x-5 5x + 13x = 60 0 = 5x/x +3 + 8

Solution

a. This equation is nonlinear because the variable \"x\" is multiplied by itself. There is an exponent that isn\'t 1

b. This equation is linear because all the exponent of \"x\" are 1 and you never multply the variable by itself in order to solve the equation.

c. This equation is linear because all the exponent of \"x\" are 1 and you never multply the variable by itself in order to solve the equation.

d. To eliminate the denominator you have to multiply every part times \"x+3\". So, when you do this, you multiply the variable by itself. There is an exponent which is 2. The equation is nonlinear.
