A linear function has 1 as the highest power of the variable.
A. f(x) = 2 - 7x
here, the highest power of the variable x is 1.
Hence it is a LINEAR function.
___________
B. f(x) = 2 + x + x^2
here, the highest power of the variable x is 2.
Hence it is NOT a linear function.
_______________

here, the highest power of the variable x is 1/2.
Hence it is NOT a linear function.

Answer:
x = 5, y = -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
3.5x - 5y = 20
3x + 4y = 13 multiply by 1.25 so the y's match up (you could match x's too)
3.75x + 5y = 16.25
–––––––––––––––––––––––
3.5x - 5y = 20
3.75x +5y = 16.25
7.25x + 0y = 36.25 you can add or subtract here (on this equation you add)
7.25x=36.25
x=5 So now we have x=5 and to find y we can just plug in x into one of the equations
–––––––––––––––––––
3(5) + 4y = 13
15 + 4y = 13
4y = -2
y = -1/2
x = 5, y = -1/2
Then you can plug in both to check your answers.
Well, if you just divide 4000 by 50, you can see that the answer will come out as:
<em><u>80
</u></em>~TO check: 80 multiplied by 50 would come out to the answer of 4,000.
