Math Problem Statement

Rewrite the following equation in standard form: y = 6x - 10

Solution

The equation in the image is:

y=6x10y = 6x - 10

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:

Ax+By=CAx + By = C

Here’s how to rewrite y=6x10y = 6x - 10:

  1. Subtract 6x6x from both sides to move xx to the left-hand side: 6x+y=10-6x + y = -10

  2. Multiply through by 1-1 (if necessary, to make the coefficient of xx positive): 6xy=106x - y = 10

Thus, the equation in standard form is:

6xy=106x - y = 10
