Question

Convert the following equation to Standard Form. Make sure the leading coefficient is positive, and all integers are whole numbers.

0 = 2y - 52-3
Standard Form:
a) 2y - 55 = 0
b) 2y + 49 = 0
c) 2y - 49 = 0
d) 2y + 55 = 0

Answer 1

To convert the equation to standard form, we add 52 and 3 to both sides of the equation and then divide both sides by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the equation to standard form, we need to rearrange the terms so that the equation has the form ax + by + c = 0, where a, b, and c are whole numbers and a is positive. Starting with the given equation, we can add 52 and 3 to both sides to get: 0 + 52 + 3 = 2y. Simplifying this gives us: 55 = 2y. Finally, we can divide both sides by 2 to get the coefficient of y to be 1, resulting in the equation: 2y - 55 = 0.
