Answer:
A. Always
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear equation with rational coefficients can be written in the form ...
ax +b = 0
The solution for the variable x is ...
x = -b/a
The problem statement tells us that 'a' and 'b' are rational numbers. Assuming there is a solution (a≠0), that solution is the ratio of rational numbers, hence must always be rational.
