Step 1.1.1

Apply the distributive property.

y = 7 x - 3 x - 3 \cdot - 1

$y = 7 x - 3 x - 3 \cdot - 1$

Step 1.1.2

Multiply

- 3

$- 3$ by

- 1

$- 1$ .

y = 7 x - 3 x + 3

$y = 7 x - 3 x + 3$

y = 7 x - 3 x + 3

$y = 7 x - 3 x + 3$

Step 1.2

Subtract

3 x

$3 x$ from

7 x

$7 x$ .

y = 4 x + 3

$y = 4 x + 3$

y = 4 x + 3

$y = 4 x + 3$

Step 2

A linear equation is an equation of a straight line, which means that the degree of a linear equation must be

0

$0$ or

1

$1$ for each of its variables. In this case, the degree of variable

y

$y$ is

1

$1$ and the degree of variable

x

$x$ is

1

$1$ .
