Question

Whats the standard form of 2+8/15x =-2/3y

Answer 1

Standard Form looks like this:

$A_{x} + B_{y} = C$

Also, A cannot be negative and there are no fractions in Standard Form.

Now that we know the rules of Standard Form, let's get x and y on one side.

-2/3y = 2 + 8/15x
Subtract 8/15x from both sides.
-8/15x - 2/3y = 2
Multiply 2/3 by 5/5 to get a common denominator.
-8/15x - 10/15y = 2
Multiply everything by 15 to rid of the fractions.
-8x - 10y = 30
Multiply everything by -1 to make A positive.
8x + 10y = -30

8x + 10y = -30
