Yes, if all the powers that the unknowns are raised to
\n" ); document.write( "are $\"1\"$ , which they are:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%5E1+%2B+3y%5E1+%2B+7+=+3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "then it is linear
\n" ); document.write( "The standard form is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"ax+%2B+by+%2B+c+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract $\"3\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+%2B+3y+%2B+4+=+0\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
