Question

write equation in standard form where A, b,c are integers whose greatest common factor is 1. 5x-7y=1/2. show work. need help pleas

Answer 1

5x – 7y = ½
Standard form is:
Ax + By = C
In this case, A = 5, B = -7, and C = ½.
But ½ is not an integer! So you multiply everything by two.
So then you get:
10x – 14y = 1
A = 10, B = -14, C = 1
Right? So then everything is an integer, and the greatest common factor is 1.

Answer 2

oh okay, thanks u so much
