I just need to check my answer... I think it's A Which of the following represents the linear equation 3x = 12 − 2y in standard form? a. y equals negative three halves x plus 6 b. y equals negative three halves x minus 6 c. 3x − 2y = 12 d. 3x + 2y = 12

OpenStudy (amistre64):

standard form is a specific form, a and b are in a slope intercept form ... not standard form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you put linear equations into standard form though?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

well, the simplest explanantion is: c and d are in a standard form: Ax + By = C, such that A is positive.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the question remains, how to put the given equation into that sort of format

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well if you added 2y to both sides it would come out as 3x + 2y = 12

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then thats the standard form of the line equation :)
