Question

How do u solve y-3=2/3(x+5) in standard form

Answer 1

The standard form:

`Ax+By=C`

----------------------------------------------------

`y-3=(2)/(3)(x+5)` multiply both sides by 3

`3y-9=2(x+5)` use distributive property

`3y-9=2x+10` add 9 to both sides

`3y=2x+19` subtract 2x from both sides

`-2x+3y=19` change the signs

`\boxed{2x-3y=-19}`
