Before you can identify which of the 3 choices it is, you must know what the three choices are.  Choice A (linear equation) is any equation that can be written in the form Ax + By = C.  An example would be 5x + 5y = 10.  An example of an equation that is not a linear equation would be x^2 +y^2 = 9.   Choice B (an equation that is nonlinear) would be anything not able to be written in the form Ax+By=C- see examples in choice A.  Choice C (an expression) does not have an equal sign and cannot be solved.  <BR>\n" );
