Answer:
x + 5y = 30
Explanation:
When putting equations into standard form, there are certain rules that need to be followed:
- X and Y must be on the right side and the y-intercept (in this case 6) on the left side.
- There must be coefficients in front of the variables. These numbers must be whole numbers. (No fractions) These numbers can be one and when that happens, you don't need to put the one in front of the variable (ex. 1x can be written as just x.)
- The coefficient in front of X must be positive, however the coefficient in front of the Y can either positive or negative.
y = -1/5x + 6
1/5x + y = 6
Multiply each side by 5 to get rid of the fraction.
5 ( 1/5x ) + 5y = 5(6)
x + 5y = 30
So the equation in standard form is x + 5y = 30
