Question

Convert the following equation into standard form.

Answer 1

Answer:

7x+9y=45

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard equations always mean that you have to get x and y on one side so that they equal the coefficient.

Do this by adding the fraction that is combined with x to the other side where y is. The equation should now read $\frac{7}{9} x + y = 5$

Standard form cannot have fractions, so now you must multiply by the denominator (9) on both sides of the equation in order to cancel it out. Don't forget to multiply EACH variable by 9. This leads you to the answer.
