Question

ect the best answer for the question. 3. Rewrite the equation x + y + 3 = –2x + 4y + 18 into standard form (ax + by = c). A. 3x –3y = 5 B. x – y = 5 C. x – y = 15 D. x + y = 5

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

To rewrite the equation x + y + 3 = -2x + 4y + 18, first combine like terms.

x + y + 3 = -2x + 4y + 18

3x - 3y + 3 = 18

3x - 3y = 15

This is the standard form.

It can also be simplified by dividing each term by 3 to x - y = 5.
