Question

Write the equation in standard form. 8−5y=−2x

Answer 1

bearing in mind that

standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

8 - 5y = - 2x

2x - 5y = - 8
