Answer:

mx -y = 4m -7

Explanation:

Standard form is ...

ax +by = c

where a, b, c are mutually prime integers and a > 0.

If we assume m > 0, then we need to collect the variable terms on the right side of the equation, so the coefficient of x will be positive.

y -7 = mx -4m . . . . eliminate parentheses

-7 = mx -y -4m . . . . subtract y

4m -7 = mx -y . . . . . add 4m

mx -y = 4m -7 . . . . . . standard form
