Question

Write the standard form of this equation
0=6+8x-2y

Answer 1

8x - 2y = -6

Explanation:

The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C where A and B cannot be fractions and A is not negative. To write in standard form, move 8x and -2y using inverse operations to the other side of the equal sign. Then change the negative sign on the x term by multiplying the equation by -1.

0 = 6 + 8x - 2y

-8x + 2y = 6

-1(-8x + 2y = 6)

8x - 2y = -6
