Question

What is the standard form of the equation?
5x = 4y – 3
A. 5x – 4y + 3 = 0
B. 5x = 4y – 3
C. 5x + 3 = 4y
D. 5x – 4y = –3

Answer 1

We have to rearrange it.

Standard form is Ax + By = C

5x = 4y - 3

Subtract 4y to both sides, what do you get? @bcimkenz

Answer 2

so subtract 4y to 5x right?

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

it would be 1

Answer 5

No, we cannot subtract 5x - 4y, they are different terms, they are not like terms.

Answer 6

Instead we just have 5x - 4y.

So our answer is:

5x - 4y = -3

Answer 7

oh I see now.
