anonymous · Answer

Okay do you know how to change something into standard form?

anonymous · Answer

Not really, I'm drawing a blank on how to do this.

anonymous · Answer

okay give me a minute to solve it then i'll explain it to you okay?

anonymous · Answer

is this algebra?

standard form of a linear equation:  ax + by = c
so you want to get all the terms with variables to one side
so for  4x – 3 = 5y   
add  3  to both sides
then subtract  5y  from both sides

anonymous · Answer

are you getting it in slope form? or no?

jigglypuff314 · Answer

the question asked for "standard form"

anonymous · Answer

but is he changing it from slope form into standard form

jigglypuff314 · Answer

I don't really think "4x – 3 = 5y" is in any form really...
and the point was to get it to standard form.
what form is starts out as does not really affect the out come

anonymous · Answer

okay one question about the way you solved it. Is that okay?

anonymous · Answer

why did you subtract 5y from both sides instead of 4x?

jigglypuff314 · Answer

it's a preference thing :P
I like to have my x values positive and on the left side
it does equate to the same answer in the end either way.

anonymous · Answer

true. So yea @HarukaN @jigglypuff314  is right.
