Answer:

8x -3y = 33

Explanation:

Multiply by 3 to eliminate the fraction. Then rearrange to standard form.

y +7 = 2/3(4x -6) . . . . . . . given

3(y +7) = 2(4x -6) . . . . . . . multiply by 3

3y +21 = 8x -12 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

33 = 8x -3y . . . . . . . . . . add 12-3y to both sides

8x -3y = 33 . . . . . . . . . swap sides to put into standard form

_____

Standard form has mutually prime integer coefficients, the leading one being positive.
