The standard form of a linear equation in general is given by:
Now we are given the equation :
In order to convert this into standard equation, we have to eliminate the 3 in the second term on the left side of equation.
Here 3 is in division ,so we have to perform opposite operation of division that is multiplication.
So multiplying both sides by 3 , we have
So that means option A.Multiply both sides of the equation by 3. The standard form of the equation is 12x – 2y = 24. is the correct advice given by Sofiya.
