x + y = 2

To rewrite the equation y + 3 = -(x - 5) in standard form, we need to simplify and rearrange the equation so that it has the form Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants.

First, we can distribute the negative sign to get:

y + 3 = -x + 5

Next, we can add x to both sides to isolate the x term:

x + y + 3 = 5

Finally, we can subtract 3 from both sides to get the equation in standard form:

x + y = 2
