I have never seen the term 'symbolic' used in this way. There are 4 methods used to solve a system of linear equations in two variables. Graphing, Substitution, Elimination, and Cramer's Rule.
You cannot solve a single linear equation in two variables, x and y. You need two independent equations.
It is a linear equation. The highest power of x in the equation is 1 (3x1-4=12) so its "degree" is 1, and equations of "degree 1" are called linear equations.
