Y=3x, is this in standard form? And if not can i get an explanation on why not?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer: i would say no


Step-by-step explanation:

To write a linear equation in standard form, move each variable term to the left side of the equation and simplify.

Ax+By=C

Since x

is on the right side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left side of the equation.

3x=y

Move y

to the left side of the equation because it contains a variable.

3x−y=0

The perimeter of a triangle is 64cm ,the sides are the ratio 6:5:5 , work out the area of the triangle
Fofino [41]
The area is 192 cm^2

the sides are 20 20 24 with the base being 24

to figure out the height you have to use Pythagorean theorem of the triangle cut in half so 12^2 + b^2 = 20^2
b= 16 = height

b*h* .5= area 16* 24* .5= 192

4r-2=4r-2 what's the solution? can have either have many solutions or none
butalik [34]

That "equation" has an infinite number of "solutions", because
no matter what 'r' is, it's always a true statement.

The statement is equivalent to saying "I am I." or "You are you."
