\n" ); document.write( "a \"linear\" system of equations is when we have two or more \"linear\" equations\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a\"linear\" equations are algebraic equations, such as \"y+=+4x+%2B+3\" for example, in which the variables are of the \"first\"\"+degree\" (that is, raised only to the first power) \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, all other equations where the variables are of the higher degree are NOT \"linear\" equations, and such system is NOT \"linear\" system \r
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "as you can see,the variables are of the \"first\"\"+degree\" and this system is a linear system\r

\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2By%5E2=4+\"=>the variables are of the \"second\"\"+degree\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B2y=7\"=>the variables are of the \"first\"\"+degree\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and this system is a NOT linear system\r
