Question

Express the following equation in standard form and indicate the values of a,b and c 5x =y-14

Answer 1

Answer:a=5

b= -1

c= -14

The standard equation is

ax + by = c .........(i)

given equation

5x = y - 14

or, 5x - y = - 14

or, 5x + (-1 × y) = - 14 ........(ii)

comparing equation (ii) with (i)

a= 5

b= -1

c = -14
