Step 1.1.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 (2 x^{4} + y)}{3} = \frac{14}{3}$

Step 1.1.2.1.2

Divide $2 x^{4} + y$ by $1$ .

$2 x^{4} + y = \frac{14}{3}$

Step 1.2

Subtract $2 x^{4}$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = \frac{14}{3} - 2 x^{4}$

Step 2

A linear equation is an equation of a straight line, which means that the degree of a linear equation must be $0$ or $1$ for each of its variables. In this case, the degree of variable $y$ is $1$ and the degree of variable $x$ is $4$ .
