y%2B2xy=3 Start with the given equation.


y%281%2B2x%29=3 Factor out the GCF "y"


y=3%2F%281%2B2x%29 Divide both sides by 1%2B2x to isolate "y".


Since we have a division by an expression containing the variable "x", this means that the equation is NOT linear.


So y%2B2xy=3 is NOT a linear equation.
