Question

How do you write the equation `y+2=5/3(x+6)` in standard form?

Answer 1

`-5x + 3y = 24`

Explanation:

`ax + by = c` is the standard form of a linear equation.

`y + 2 = (5/3)(x + 6)`

`3(y + 2) = 5( x + 6) color (white)(aaa)`cross multiplying;

`3y + 6 = 5x + 30 color (white)(aaa)` removing braces;

#-5x + 3y = 24 color (white)(aaa) bringing variables to LHS & numerals to RHS.
