I will Award Metal for Help write y = (-5^8)x + 3 in standard form using integers 1. 5x + 8y = -24 2. 5x + 8y = 24 3. 5x - 8y = 24 4. -5x + 8y = 24

You mean (-5/8) and not (-5^8), right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

sorry

geerky42 (geerky42):

\[\begin{array} ~~~~~y &=-\dfrac58x~+~3\\~\\ \color{red}{+\dfrac58x} &\phantom= \color{red}{+\dfrac58 x}\\~\\~~~~~~~~\downarrow\\~\\\\\dfrac58x~+~y&=~3\\~\\\end{array} \\\text{Now multiply both sides by 8;}\\~\\ \boxed{5x+8 y = 24}\] Does that help?
