The general form is . It requires that A and B be greater than 1 (not fractions or decimals) and A is positive. This equation is 2x + y = 6 is almost already in the form. Subtract C to both sides to make it general form. 2x + y - 6 =0. The coefficients of the x and y are greater than 1 and 2 is positive. This meets the requirements.
First step: simplify the values in the parenthesis: -4(3+11v) Second step: apply the distributive property: -12-44v The final answer (simplified) is -44v-12
