Question

How do you write the following linear equations in standard form ?

1. -8y = 37
2. 14x = -4y - 18
3. x = -3/5y + 4/5
4. 13x = -25

Answer 1

Hi, Victoriasoto93p63zva!

To rewrite these equations in standard form you need to understand that standard form looks something like this Ax+By=C, now obviously there will be variations like Ax-By=C or -Ax+By=C, etc..., but for these expressions, they would look like this:
1. -8y + 0x = 37
2. 14x + 4y = -18
3. x +
`(3)/(5)` y =
`(4)/(5)`
4. 13x + 0y = -25
