Question

Rewrite the equation in proper Standard Form. Equation: 14x−34y=−3 Standard Form:

A) 14x + 34y = 3
B) 14x + 34y = -3
C) -14x + 34y = 3
D) -14x + 34y = -3

Answer 1

The equation 14x−34y=−3, when rewritten in proper Standard Form, is 14x + 34y = 3, making option A the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking to rewrite the equation 14x−34y=−3 in proper Standard Form. Standard Form for a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers, and A is positive.

To rewrite the given equation in proper Standard Form, we need to make sure that the x-coefficient is positive. The given equation already has a positive x-coefficient, so we don't need to multiply the entire equation by −1.

The correct Standard Form of the given equation is therefore A) 14x + 34y = 3, which is obtained by simply moving the term −3 to the right side of the equation and changing its sign to positive.
