Question

Is the equation below written in standard form? If not, select which explanation best applies to why the equation is not written in standard form. 12=2x+4y

Answer 1

replace 0 for the Y and solve for x and then replace the X with 0 and solve for Y.

12=2x+4(0)

12=2(0)+4y

Answer 2

The given equation is not in standard form because the values have common factor not equal to 1

Explanation:

`12=2x+4y`

The standard form of a linear equation is in the form of

`Ax+By=C`

Given equation can be written as
`2x+4y = 12`

The value of A=2, B= 4 and C=12

A, B, C have a greatest common factor 2

The given equation is not in standard form because the values have common factor not equal to 1
