Answer 3

standard form is Ax+By = C

Answer 4

A,B and C are just fixed numbers and they are whole numbers

Answer 5

4x+2y=0 then?

Answer 6

Example

7x + 10y = 13

is in standard form (this isn't the answer)

Answer 7

y=-2x+4 is not in standard form, but you can do one move to get it into standard form

Answer 8

notice the position of the x terms

Ax+By = C
y=-2x+4

Answer 9

you need to get y=-2x+4 into the form Ax+By = C

Answer 10

how do you do that

Answer 11

notice how x is on the left side in Ax+By = C

but x is on the right side in y=-2x+4

Answer 12

so you have to flip it?

Answer 13

how would you move that "2x" over

Answer 14

what can be done to both sides

Answer 15

i have no idea lol

Answer 16

-2x+4 is the same as 4 - 2x, agreed?

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

so what operation undoes the subtraction of 2x

Answer 19

the addition

Answer 20

adding 2x to both sides, yes
