This is linear since all exponents are 1.
\n" ); document.write( "Standard means x and y on same side and number all alone. We were given:
\n" ); document.write( "(i) \"9y+=+4x+-+18\"
\n" ); document.write( "subtracting 9x and adding 18, we get
\n" ); document.write( "(ii) \"4x+-+9y+=+18\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
