Answer:

7x+8y=32

Explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the following equation:


y=-(7x)/(8) +4

And we want to convert it into standard form

Standard form is ax+by=c, where a, b, and c are integer coefficients, a and b cannot be zero, and a cannot be negative

a is the coefficient in front of x and b is the coefficient in front of y

Since we have the term with x (
-(7x)/(8)) on the right side, and we want it on the left side with the term with y, we can move it to the other side, by adding
(7x)/(8) to both sides.


y=-(7x)/(8) +4

+
(7x)/(8) +
(7x)/(8)

_________________


(7x)/(8) + y =4

Now we have the terms of x and y on both sides, but remember; we want the coefficients to be integers (whole numbers).

We'll need to clear the fraction of
(7x)/(8). To do that, we can multiply both sides by 8.


8((7x)/(8) + y) =8(4)

Now doing the distributive property:


8((7x)/(8)) + 8(y) =8(4)

Multiply each term by 8.

7x + 8y = 32

Hope this helps!
