9x + 5y = 10
is a linear equation because all variables are raised to exponent 1.
This equation is already written in standard form (A = 9, B = 5, C = 10)
2y + 4 = 6x
is a linear equation because all variables are raised to exponent 1.
Subtracting 2y at both sides:
2y + 4 - 2y= 6x - 2y
4 = 6x - 2y
or
6x - 2y = 4
which is in standard form (A = 6, B = -2, C = 4)
