Algebra practice question
Which of the following is a linear equation in two variables?
- A. 2x + 3y = 7Correct
- B. x² + y = 1
- C. xy = 4
- D. 1/x + y = 2
Answer: A. 2x + 3y = 7
Both variables appear only to the first power and are not multiplied together.
Why the other answers are wrong

- x is squared.
- C. xy = 4
- x and y are multiplied together.
- D. 1/x + y = 2
