Math Problem Statement
Rewrite the following equation in standard form: y = 6x - 10
Solution
The equation in the image is:
To rewrite this in standard form, we rearrange the terms so that all variables are on the left-hand side and constants on the right. Standard form for a linear equation is:
Here’s how to rewrite :
-
Subtract from both sides to move to the left-hand side:
-
Multiply through by (if necessary, to make the coefficient of positive):
Thus, the equation in standard form is:
