Question

Write y=-5/8x+3 in standard form using integers.

Answer 1

5x + 8y = 24

Explanation:

y =
`(-5)/(8)`x + 3 Add
`(5)/(8)`x to both sides

`(5)/(8)`x + y =
`(-5)/(8)`x +
`(5)/(8)`x + 3

`(5)/(8)`x + y = 3 Multiply all the way through by 8 to clear the fraction

`((8)/(1))`
`((5)/(8))`x + (8)y= (8)(3)

5x + 8y = 24
