Answer 4

Clarify your problem please

Answer 5

\[-\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }x-6\]

Answer 6

thats correct yes

Answer 7

Standard form is represented as such \[ax+by=c\]

Answer 8

okay

Answer 9

Is your problem suppose to be \[-\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }x-6 = y?\]

Answer 10

im not sure i posted the question exactly how my assignment says

Answer 11

What you gave wasn't an equation, check your problem again

Answer 12

its supposed to be y=-1/4-6

Answer 13

sorry you were right, i typed it wrong the first time

Answer 14

So to put it in standard form add 1/4x on both sides

Answer 15

what happens

Answer 16

how do i put it in standard form

Answer 17

Standard form is \[ax+by=c\] where a,b, and c are constants, so all you have to do is add 1/4x on both sides and it will cancel it out on the right and then you'll have it in standard form.

Answer 18

Constants meaning any number

Answer 19

Im so lost

Answer 20

\[y=-\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }x-6\] how do we move -1/4x on the left side?

Answer 21

Add it on both sides?

Answer 22

Exactly, so what do you get once you do that?

Answer 23

x+4y=-6, right?

Answer 24

No,\[\color{red}{+\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }x}+ y=-\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }x-6\color{red}{+\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }x}\]

Answer 25

So it gets cancelled on the right side and we have \[\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }x+y=-6\] now we have to put it with integers, meaning we can't have fractions

Answer 26

So you can multiply through by 4

Answer 27

so we would have x+4y=-24

Answer 28

Yes

Answer 29

thank you so much

Answer 30

do you think you could help me with another problem?
