Write the equation y - 2 = 2(x - 3) in standard form.

Question

anonymous · Answer

y - 2 = 2x - 6
y = 2x - 4

anonymous · Answer

If you would like me to explain how I got that, i'd be happy to :P

anonymous · Answer

yes please

anonymous · Answer

So starting with 
y - 2 = 2(x - 3)
you do the parentheses first, so 2 * x = 2x and 2 * -3 = -6

anonymous · Answer

so then you have y - 2 = 2x - 6
then to isolate the variable; y, you add + 2 to -2 to get 0 and then add 2 to the other side of the equality sign, so y = 2x - 6 + 2
so then add the negative 6 and 2 together to get -4
so y = 2x - 4

Distribute the 2 in 2(x-3) [step 1], then add 2 to each side of the equation [step 2]: 

y-2=2(x-3) 
y-2=2x-6                          [step 1]
y-2 (+2)=2x-6 (+2)           [step 2]
y=2x-4                              [simplify to get answer]
