-4x+y=-174x+y=17

Explanation:

Standard for is given by

Ax+By=CAx+By=C

We essentially want our constants on the left, and the variables on the right. Let's subtract 4x4x from both sides to get

-4x+y+9=-84x+y+9=8

Next, let's subtract 99 from both sides to get

-4x+y=-174x+y=17

We have our variables on one side, and the constants on the other, thus this equation is in standard form.

Hope this helps!

-4x+y=-174x+y=17

Explanation:

Standard form uses the equation

Ax+By=CAx+By=C

So really all we have to do is get the xx and yy variable on one side of the equal sign and the regular number on the other side.

First, let’s get the variables together. Subtract 4x4x from both sides:

y+9-4x=-8y+94x=8

Now, subtract 99 from both sides:

y-4x=-8-9y4x=89

y-4x=-17y4x=17

If you want to put it in traditional standard form like below you can, however it does not matter.

-4x+y=-174x+y=17
