Question

Convert to standard form: ax+by=c

4x+9(y+x)=10

Answer 1

To convert the given equation to standard form, distribute the 9 to both terms inside the parenthesis, then combine like terms. The standard form is 13x + 9y = 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the equation 4x + 9(y + x) = 10 to standard form (ax + by = c), we need to simplify and rearrange it. First, distribute the 9 to both terms inside the parenthesis:

• 4x + 9y + 9x = 10

Combine like terms (4x and 9x):

• 13x + 9y = 10

This is the standard form where a is 13, b is 9, and c is 10.
