Answer:
Option: A. The given equation is a linear expression
Solution:
The linear expression is the expression whose highest degree is 1 after combining the degrees of all the terms in the expression.
Here in the problem the expression is [tex]5x[/tex] + 2 which can also be written as, [tex](5x^{1}+2^{1})[/tex]
We can see that the degree of term [tex]5x[/tex] is 1 and the degree of term 2 is also 1
So, the highest degree of the given expression is =1
Hence, the equation is a linear expression.
