Question

I need it in standard form none of the asnweres given do that

Answer 1

The equivalent expression written in standard form is : -2x + y = -18

Using the expression given for our Calculation;

• y + 4 = 2(x - 7)

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

• Ax + By = C

Now we have ;

y + 4 = 2(x - 7)

Expand

y + 4 = 2x - 14

collect like terms

y - 2x = -14 - 4

y - 2x = -18

-2x + y = -18

Hence, the equivalent expression in standard form is : -2x + y = -18
