Which one of the following is NOT a linear equation?A) 5x + 4 = y + 3 B) x + y2 = y2 – x + 2yC) 3 – x = y2 + 4 D) x + y = 0

Answer»

Correct option is (C) 3 – x = y2 + 4

(A) 5x + 4 = y + 3

\(\Rightarrow\) 5x - y + 4 - 3 = 0

\(\Rightarrow\) 5x - y + 1 = 0

which is a linear equation.

(B) \(x+y^2=y^2-x+2y\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(x+y^2-y^2+x-2y=0\)

\(\Rightarrow\) 2x - 2y = 0

\(\Rightarrow\) 2 (x - y) = 0

\(\Rightarrow\) x - y = 0 which is also a linear equation.

(C) \(3 - x = y^2 + 4\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(y^2+4+x-3=0\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(y^2+x+1=0\) which is not a linear equation.

(D) x + y = 0 which is a linear equation.

Correct option is C) 3 – x = y2 + 4
