Is the equation below written in standard form? If not, select which explanation best applies to why the equation is not written in standard form. 12=2x+4y A. the requirement that A > or equal to is not satisfied B. the requirement that A and B are not both zero is not satisfied C. A, B, and C do not have a greatest common factor of 1 D. the equation is written in standard form

Miracrown (miracrown):

In choice A, what is A supposed to be greater than or equal to? You put "A > or equal to...is not satisfied"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would go with C. A, B, and C do not have a greatest common factor of 1

Miracrown (miracrown):

I think it's supposed to be A >= 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[12=2x+4y\]is the same as \[6=x+2y\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

besides, 95% of the time the answer is C

Miracrown (miracrown):

yeah right because it says to explain why it is *not* standard form it's not standard form because you can reduce more That's what choice C is saying

Miracrown (miracrown):

You're supposed to reduce until you can't divide the same number through everything

Miracrown (miracrown):

Urban legend ;)

Some test maker should make the answers all A to mess with people's heads
