Question

Change the following problem in standard form using integers. Show work! y=4x-11

Answer 1

The question is too vague. Specify.

Answer 2

That's all it says I don't know how to specify it any more

Answer 3

No worries. I get what they are asking for.

Answer 4

Okay, thank you.

Answer 5

so here is the solution:
so the goal is to reach the ax+by=c form.
first you move the term 4x to the other side so it becomes -4x+y=-11

Answer 6

thats basically it but if you want to simplify more as you should:
you divide the whole equation by -1:
so, it looks like this \[\frac{ -4x }{ -1 }+\frac{ y }{ -1 }=\frac{ -11 }{ -1 }\]

Answer 7

Why is it -4?

Answer 8

And -11?

Answer 9

okay so you added -4x on both sides
your original equation was y=4x-11
after you add the -4x,
you get: -4x+y=4x-4x-11
which is : -4x+y=0-11
and so -4x+y=-11

Answer 10

is it still iffy?

Answer 11

No that makes sense thanks :)

Answer 12

yayy! have fun :)

Answer 13

Is this one right? The equation is y= -2x-3 and I ended up with 3= -2x-y

Answer 14

its correct except you wanna right it as -2x-y=3
they way you wrote it is not incorrect, but this is just the syntax that you will use later so better get a hang of it now

Answer 15

Oh okay thanks and one last one haha. The equation is y=5/2x-22 and I got 2.5x+y= 22
