write each equation in standard form using integers. y=2x+5 y-4=-2(x-3)
@Ednac
@SolomonZelman
So, the standard form of the equation is: \(\large\color{black}{ Ax+yB=C }\) where A, B and C are just constants (numbers, not variables).
ok i understand so far
I mean, \(\large\color{black}{Ax+By=C }\) sorry.
Okay, so you have to rearrange your equations, so that y and x are on one side and y, and the number is on the other.
its all good. i just forgot how to change it to standard form
ok
I'll do the first one for you, and you do the second, okay?
ok
My connection snapped, apologize.
\(\large\color{black}{ y=2x+5 }\) subtract 2x from both sides, \(\large\color{black}{ y\color{red}{-2x}=2x+5\color{red}{-2x} }\) 2x on the right cancels. \(\large\color{black}{ y-2x=5 }\) then the Xs have to be before the Ys. \(\large\color{black}{ -2x+y=5 }\) I switched X and Y, I am done.
ok let me try the second one
sure. go ahead;)
if your stuck, I'll give you a step.
ok can you help me with the first step
Expand the right side.
subtract 4 from both sides?
\(\large\color{black}{ y-4=-2(x-3) }\) (it's hard to keep looking back up ) ``` and you can use my thingy with codes: just copy the line below, \(\large\color{black}{ y-4=-2(x-3) }\) ``` And Wait, have you expanded the right side? I mean, you can start from adding 4 from both sides too if you would like to, but you would either way have to expand the \(\large\color{black}{-2(x-3) }\)
having trouble with something, what is it?
its just confusing to me I'm just going over what you said to do
well, you can ignore the part with codes, if you want.
I re-posted the equation not to look back. Then I gave you the codes to use in a gray box. And after this, I said that you can start from either adding 4 to both sides, or expanding the -2(x-3).
y=-2(x-3)+4
is this what it should look like so far
yes, you are going the correct direction, then expand the -2(x-3) (thats on the right hand side )
i feel stupid asking but how to i expand the right side
Okay, multiply -2 by x, and by -3.
|dw:1418330356627:dw|So what will \(\large\color{black}{ -2(x-3) }\) be equal to?
