Question

What is y= 5/6 - 1/4 in standard form

Answer 1

The standard form is
`10x-12y=3`

Explanation:

Given:
`y= (5)/(6)x - (1)/(4)`

We will use LCD to solve it.

Now, solving it by taking LCD of 6 and 4 to get 12.

`y = (5x* 2 - 1* 3)/(12) = (10x - 3)/(12)`

Multiplying both sides by 12, we get

`12y=(10x - 3)/(12)* 12\\12y=10x-3`

Now, adding 3 to both sides and subtracting
`12y` from both sides, we get

`12y-12y+3=10x-12y-3+3\\3=10x-12y\\or\ 10x-12y=3`

Therefore, the standard form of the given equation is
`10x-12y=3`
