Question

Julia wrote a linear equation in standard form as –6x – 3y = 10. Arthur noticed that the equation was not written in standard form and wants to tell Julia how to fix it. What advice should he give her? Multiply both sides of the equation by –1, so that the value for A is positive. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2, so that the values for A, B, and C have a greatest common factor other than 1. Divide both sides of the equation by 3, so that the values for A, B, and C have a greatest common factor of 1. Add 6x to both sides so that the value for A is 0.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A - $6x +3y = -10$ is the standard form of the equation.      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Linear equation - $-6x -3y = 10$

To convert into the standard form.

Standard form of the equation is in form Ax+By=C

So to convert this equation into the standard form we have to multiply both side of the equation by -1, so that the value for A is positive.

After multiplying by -1  the form is  

$-6x\times (-1) -3y\times(-1)= 10\times(-1)$

$6x +3y = -10$ is the standard form of the equation.

Therefore, Option A is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

on edg the correct answer is A. Multiply both sides of the equation by –1, so that the value for A is positive
