Question

Write the linear equation in standard form.
6 - y = 2x

I just need to make sure I'm doing this right. :)
If I add 2 to both sides it'd probably come out as
6 - y = 2y + 2y
Then if I were to simplify it'd come out to...
2x + y = 6
Is this correct, or did I miss something?

Answer 1

Standard form looks like this: y = mx + b
It's like you're solving for y.

Answer 2

standard form is
Ax+By = C

y=mx+b is slope intercept form

Answer 3

I'm afraid the standard form I'm given in my chapter is \[Ax + By = C\]
Not Y = mx + b

Answer 4

You're actually right !

Answer 5

My bad !
