Answer 2

I think I understand how to do most of it.

Answer 3

I would use what you did earlier

use @mathmale 's method

Answer 4

x = 5/2

Answer 5

I just don't know how to convert it into general form.

Answer 6

General form is: \[Ax + By + C = 0\]

Answer 7

@Hero @robtobey

Answer 8

well you can multiply both sides by 2, then subtract 5 from both sides

x = 5/2
2x = 5
2x - 5 = 0
2x + 0y + (-5) = 0

Answer 9

2x + 0y + (-5) = 0 is in Ax+By+C = 0 form

A = 2
B = 0
C = -5

Answer 10

So that would make it: 2x-5=0?

Answer 11

@jim_thompson5910

Answer 12

yes `2x-5 = 0`

Answer 13

Thank You!
