Question

Please help

can someone please explain standard form, i got this qustion in my math hw −7x−5y=35 and i looked over the answers and it said A=7 B=5 C+-35 we had to put it in abc form

Answer 1

Standard form: 7x + 5y = −35 where A = 7, B = 5, and C = -35.

Explanation:

The standard form, Ax + By = C, where A, B, C are constants (must be integers) and A is positive. In order to turn the constant A in your original equation into a positive integer, we can multiply both sides of the equation by -1:

(−1) (−7x − 5y) = 35 (−1)

Then, you'll have the following standard form:

7x + 5y = −35 where A = 7, B = 5, and C = -35.
