Using integers means to get rid of the decimals.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Finish the previous question. I sure hope you are not trying to cheat.

OpenStudy (imstuck):

If you multiply everything by 10 you can get rid of the decimals. That means to multiply both sides by 10, including the y.

OpenStudy (imstuck):

Doing that gives you 10y = -50x + 80

OpenStudy (imstuck):

Standard form is Ax + By = C. So rearrange the letters and numbers to reflect that form. Can you do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so if you remove the decimals then it should be answer b .Today is the first day I'm doing this type of math with integers

OpenStudy (imstuck):

oops on the -50x...

OpenStudy (imstuck):

and on the 80 that's mulyiplied by 100 not 10

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

@AravindG :P u wont be sure ever hehe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AravindG not a cheater just trying to learn, and I was thought if you don't understand the example , u should move to the next and go back later to it.I have 100's to complete .

OpenStudy (imstuck):

yes it b

OpenStudy (aravindg):

@JuniorEinstein1 You didn't care to let me know while I was waiting for your reply. That was not a good behavior from your side while I was making efforts to help you get the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks @IMStuck that was a easy way to remember just to remove the decimals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry @AravindG didnt mean offend but I gotta keep on moving , if I don't get it I need to keep going forward .I didn't even realize you were waiting :(
