It is not linear because x is raised to the second power. Therefore it is not straight and would be kindof like a rainbow cut in half on the graph..

I am pretty sure the answer is c. I hope this helps
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
x = 14/3
Step-by-step explanation:
4(2x-3)+8(x-4)=2(2x+6)
Distribute
8x -12 +8x - 32 = 4x +12
Combine like terms
16x -44 = 4x+12
Subtract 4x
16x-4x -44 = 4x+12-4x
12x -44 =12
Add 44 to each side
12x-44+44 = 12+44
12x = 56
Divide each side by 12
12x/12 = 56/12
x = 14/3
