Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Solve for y. You can do this by subtracting 3x+y from both sides of the equation.

y -(3x+y) = 3x +2y -(3x +y)

-3x = y

Or ...

y = -3x

Each value of x maps to a single value of y, so this relation is a function.

_____

This equation is a first-degree polynomial in x. Any polynomial relation y=p(x) is a function, so this is a function.
