What's the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
i need to change this linear equation to standard form
10y-3x+6=11
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
Standard form is Ax+By=C
A, B, C are all integers, GCF of 1, and A is positive. So, get all the x's and y's on one side, leave all the numbers on the other.

You already have the x's and y's on one side, so get all the numbers on the other, by subtracting 6 on both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok i have 10y-3+6=5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3x*
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
That's not correct, only the right side is. Subtract 6 on BOTH sides of:
10y-3x+6=11

That's good. THen do you see the mistake you made in this...
10y-3+6=5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okokokokok 10y-3x=5 not what
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now*
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
Good. Now, change the order so the x comes first
10y - 3x = 5
becomes
-3x + 10y = 5
Now one more step... the number in front of x needs to be positive.
