anonymous · Answer

Is that the answer?

anonymous · Answer

Is that the answer or were you just setting up the problem?

directrix · Answer

2x + 7y = 52

The Standard Form for a linear equation in two variables, x and y, is usually given as 
Ax + By = C
where, if at all possible, A, B, and C are integers, and A is non-negative, and, A, B, and C have no common factors other than 1.

anonymous · Answer

So that is the form you put it in... then you solve from there?

directrix · Answer

The answer to your question is 2x + 7y = 52.
It's in standard form.

Oh well thank you! Do you think you can show me how you got the answer?
