Suppose the variables are X and Y and the equation can be written in either of the following equivalent forms:

bY = aX or aX - bY = 0 or Y/X = c

where a, b and c are non-zero constants.

Is 5x plus 3 equals 8y plus 3 a direct variation?

Oh, dude, direct variation is when two variables change in the same way. In this case, 5x + 3 = 8y + 3, so technically they are changing in the same way by adding 3 to both sides. So, yeah, I guess you could say it's a direct variation, but like, who really cares, right?
