Question

What is the standard form of y - 8 = 2(x + 3)?

A. 2x - y = -14
B. 2x + y = 14
C. y = 2x + 14
D. y - 2x = 11​

Answer 1

2x - y = -14

Explanation:

Answer 2

A. 2x - y = -14

Explanation:The standard form of a linear equation is

Ax + By = C

So we can solve for C, the constant

y - 8 = 2(x + 3)

y - 8 = 2x + 6

y = 2x + 14

-2x + y = 14

2x - y = -14 (multiply both sides by -1 to keep x positive)
