Question

Convert the following in standard form : -4x=4y-52

Answer 1

The standard form of any linear equation with two variables is $ax+by=c$, where a, b, and c are constants. To convert this equation to standard form, simply subtract $4y$ from both sides to get

$-4x-4y=-52$

We could leave it in this form, though, in this case, it might be better at if we multiplied both sides by -1 to get

$4x+4y=52$
