Question 207320: 5x-11 is that an expression, alinear equation, or a nonlinear equation and how can you tell
Answer by RAY100(1637) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
An equation has an = sign,,,f(x) = "x+2"
.
so our problem is not an equation.
.
FYI, a linear equation, has x raised to only the first power
.
A NON linear equation has x raised to a power greater than 1
.
.
Therefore,,5x-11,,is an expression,,,which is any symbol.
