Answer:

c)
2x + 3y = 4

Explanation:

−2 = −⅔[5] + b

3

1⅓ = b

y = −⅔x + 1⅓

Then convert to Standard Form:

y = −⅔x + 1⅓

+⅔x + ⅔x

__________

⅔x + y = 1⅓ [We do not want fractions in our Standard Equation, so multiply by the denominator to get rid of it.]

3[⅔x + y = 1⅓]


2x + 3y = 4

* 1⅓ = 4⁄3

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
