Question

I WILL FAN AND MEDAL
y=4x-18
rewrite this equation in standard form. Make sure to show all of your work.

Answer 1

Re-wrtie it so that the x and the y are on the same side.

Answer 2

4x+y=18?

Answer 3

How did you do that ? it looks like you lost a negative (or minus) sign.

Answer 4

oops i meant to put 4x+y=-18

Answer 5

Ok now that is a little better ... but how did you get the 4x over to the right side

Answer 6

sorry how did you get 4x over to the LEFT side?

Answer 7

-4x+y=-18

Answer 8

I forgot I had to subtract haha

Answer 9

There you go... now this all depends on your book/course/teacher ... some consider Standard form Ax+By=C and some consider it Ax+By+C=0 ... (in all cases A,B,C must be integers - not fractions or decimals) ...do you know which your book/course/teacher wants?

Answer 10

Ax+By=C or Ax+By+C=0?

Answer 11

Ax+By=c

Answer 12

Ok so you are almost there. Usually the A is supposed to be greater than or equal to 0. But you have it as -4 so when this happens just multiply both sides of the equation by -1 and that solves that problem and the equation looks different but is really the same. so go ahead and fix your equation.
