This is an equation where the variable is raised to the first power and the variable does not occur in the denominator, inside an absolute value symbol, or under a square root symbol. it is a equation.

I would say linear because it fits those requirements. An example of a linear equation could be y= x +1 and the variable is raised to the first power so it is its own self, it's variable is not in the denominator, absolute value symbol, nor a square root symbol.

What are you asking ?

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.

the answer is 18.
