Question

What two steps are necessary to put this equation into standard form?

(2 - 3x + 16 = % - 4)
A. The equation is already in standard form
B. Add 4 to both sides and add 6x from both sides
C. Add 4 to both sides and subtract 6x from both sides
D. Subtract 4 from both sides and add 6x from both sides

Answer 1

To put the provided equation into standard form, you need to add 4 to both sides and subtract 6x from both sides, resulting in standard form Ax + By = C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation provided by the student contains a typo in the form of a percentage sign (%). Assuming that '%' is meant to represent a variable or a number, the equation can be put into standard form, which is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers, and A is non-negative. Here's how you could approach it if '%' represents a variable:

This will result in a standard form of the equation. If '%' represents a different specific value, the steps to reach standard form might differ accordingly.
