Which of the following equations is written in standard form?

A.  -2x=13
B.   -3x+13y=25

anonymous · Answer

I think none of them..

anonymous · Answer

By convention x coefficient will be positive while writing standard form..

anonymous · Answer

That's what I was thinking... there are two other answers but I'm positive they're wrong.

anonymous · Answer

Can you show us that??

anonymous · Answer

1/2x+1/3y=1/5   --- this wouldn't work because fractions aren't integers

3x+5y=-15   --- this also wouldn't work because the gcf isn't 1

anonymous · Answer

but, the gcf isn't 1..

anonymous · Answer

Standard form of an equation is given by:

$$\large \color{green}{ax + by = c}$$

anonymous · Answer

Why are you looking at GCF ??

anonymous · Answer

because one of the rules of standard form is the gcf has to be 1!

anonymous · Answer

Yes you are right...

It will be second one...

anonymous · Answer

ok. thanks.
