Answer:

only C is non-linear

Explanation:

A linear equation is of the form;

y = mx + c

we have single powers of x and y; also, there is no product of x and y

Thus, we have;

a; 12x + 3y = 7

y =( -12x + 7)/3

this shows we have a linear equation

b. y + x = 4x + 5

y = 4x-x + 5

y = 3x + 5

This is a linear equation

c. y = 8/x^2

This is non-linear; we already have one power of x as 2
