Answer 2

Here are the classifications of the given equations:

**Linear:**
1. \( 2x + 7 = -3 \)
2. \( 7x - 6 = 3 \)

**Non-Linear:**
1. \( x = 6 + 3x \)
2. \( 2x^4 - 3x = 5 \)

**Explanation:**
- Linear equations are characterized by the highest power of the variable being 1.
- Non-linear equations involve terms where the variable is raised to a power greater than 1 or involves roots, products, etc.

In this case, it appears that the equation \( x = 6 + 3x \) is rewritten but is actually solvable as linear since it simplifies to \( -2x + 6 = 0 \), so it would technically also be linear. However, we include it here because it initially has a non-standard form that involves isolation of \( x \) on both sides.

Answer 3

To solve the linear equation \(-5x - 10 = 18\), follow these steps:

1. Start with the equation:
\[
-5x - 10 = 18
\]

2. Add 10 to both sides of the equation:
\[
-5x = 18 + 10
\]
\[
-5x = 28
\]

3. Now, divide both sides by \(-5\):
\[
x = \frac{28}{-5}
\]
\[
x = -\frac{28}{5}
\]

So the solution to the equation is:
\[
x = -\frac{28}{5} \quad \text{or} \quad x = -5.6
\]
