Question

What is y=2x+5 in standard form?

Answer 1

My guess is 2x-y= -5

Answer 2

Answer:

2x - x = -5

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.

A x  +  B y  =  C

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

2 x  +  5  =  y

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

2 x  +  5  −  y  =  0

• Move  5  to the right side of the equation because it does not contain a variable.

2 x  −  y  =  − 5
