3x−4y=27





3x2−2x=4y

1 answer

To classify the given equations as linear or nonlinear, we can analyze each one.

  1. Equation: \(3x - 4y = 27\)

    • This is a linear equation because it can be rewritten in the slope-intercept form \(y = mx + b\). Rearranging gives: \[ 4y = 3x - 27 \implies y = \frac{3}{4}x - \frac{27}{4} \]
    • Classification: Linear
  2. Equation: \(3x^2 - 2x = 4y\)

    • This equation contains a term with \(x^2\), which makes it nonlinear. Rearranging gives: \[ 4y = 3x^2 - 2x \implies y = \frac{3}{4}x^2 - \frac{1}{2}x \]
    • Classification: Nonlinear

Summary

  • Linear: \(3x - 4y = 27\)
  • Nonlinear: \(3x^2 - 2x = 4y\)
