True. It is linear because it forms a straight line.
Given: 5x – 4 + 13x = 5
Combine like terms in the given expression.
⇒ (5x + 13x) – 4 = 5
⇒ 18x – 4 = 5
By addition property of equality, add 4 on both sides to equal to the expression.
⇒ 18x – 4 + 4 = 5 + 4
⇒ 18x = 9
By division property of equality, divide 18 on both sides to equal the expression.
⇒ 
By symmetric property of equality, both sides are equal
⇒ 
Hence,
.
