Question

what is y = 8x - 71 in standard form?

Answer 1

standard form is
ax + by = c


where a , b and c are integers

Answer 2

so you need to rearrange you equation accordingly

Answer 3

you can start by subtracting y from both sides
y - y = 8x - y - 71
0 = 8x - y - 71

now add 71 to both sides

Answer 4

can you do that?

Answer 5

71 = 8x - y

Answer 6

8x - 71 = y ???

Answer 7

Ax + By = C

y = 8x - 71 --- subtract 8x from both sides
y - 8x = -71 -- re-arrange
-8x + y = -71 -- since x cannot be a negative, we will multiply entire equation by -1
8x - y = 71 -- standard form

questions ?

Answer 8

- you were on the way to it 71 = 8x - y
- but we put the x and y terms on the left
so just swapping them around we get

8x - y = 71
