Answer:

5x + 6y = -14

Explanation:

Standard form means the x term will be on the farthest left, then the y term next, set equal to the constant (plain number) all by itself on the right.

Like this:

Ax + By = C

So you have

-5x - 14 = 6y

Add 14 to both sides.

-5x = 6y + 14

Subtract 6y from both sides.

-5x - 6y = 14

Also multiply both sides by -1, to make sure your A value (number next to the x) is positive.

5x + 6y = -14
