Recall that a linear equation in one variable x is an equation where the highest power of x is 1. This means the equation can be written in the form $ax + b = 0$, where \(a\) and \(b\) are constants.
Examine option A: \(5x + 7 (x - 1) = -3x\). First, expand the parentheses: \(5x + 7x - 7 = -3x\). Then combine like terms to check if the equation is linear.
Look at option B: \(9x^{2} - 4x + 3 = 0\). Notice the term \$9x^{2}$, which has $x$ raised to the power of 2. This indicates the equation is quadratic, not linear.
Check option C: \(7x + 8x = 13\). Combine like terms to get \(15x = 13\), which is a linear equation since the highest power of \(x\) is 1.
Review option D: \(0.04x - 0.08x = 0.40\). Combine like terms to get \(-0.04x = 0.40\), which is linear as well.

Definition of a Linear Equation

A linear equation is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and a single variable raised to the first power. It forms a straight line when graphed and does not include variables with exponents other than one.
