Consider the following system of first order partial differential equations with k =constant
uwx+vwy+wux+wvy=0
uvx+vvy+kwy=0
uux+vuy+kwx=0
To classify the first order partial differential equation given by
uwx+vwy+wux+wvy=0
From the equation it is clear that x, y are independent variables while u, v, w are dependent variables. As dependent variable does not multiply with corresponding derivative hence this is first order partial differential equation.
To classify the first order partial differential equation given by
uvx+vvy+kwy=0
From the equation it is clear that x, y are independent variables while u, v, w are dependent variables. As dependent variable does not multiply with corresponding derivative. But here it occurs and hence this is not first order partial differential equation.

uux+vuy+kwx=0
Here also the dependent variable multiplies with corresponding derivative. Hence this is not first order partial differential equation.
