Question

Which shows the equation 12x+4y=480 in general form??

Answer 1

Answer: 12x+4y-480=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

12x+4y=480 in general form it can be written as

Ax+by+c=0

12x+4y-480=0

In this form

X is the first variable with integer value 12

Y is the second variable with integer value 4

And the constant term is -480

Answer 2

Question is asking about which shows the equation $12x+4y=480$ in general form. Options are not given but we can still find the solution.

Given equation $12x+4y=480$ is a linear equation so we will need to check general formula of the equation of line. which is given by formula:

$ax+by+c=0$

Where a, b and c are integers.

Now compare given equation $12x+4y=480$ with general formula $ax+by+c=0$ to find the difference between them.

We see that every term is on the left side of the = in formula but 480 is on the right side of give equation so we will move 480 to the left side.

to do that we subtract 480 from both sides

$12x+4y-480=480-480$

$12x+4y-480=0$

Now the new equation looks exactly like the general formula.

Hence final answer is $12x+4y-480=0$
