Math Problem Statement

Rewrite the following equation in standard form: y = 10x + 7.

Solution

The given equation is y=10x+7y = 10x + 7.

Steps to rewrite in standard form:

The standard form of a linear equation is: Ax+By=CAx + By = C where AA, BB, and CC are integers, and AA and BB are not both zero.

  1. Start with the given equation: y=10x+7y = 10x + 7

  2. Rearrange terms to move 10x10x to the left-hand side: 10x+y=7-10x + y = 7

  3. Multiply through by 1-1 (optional) to make AA positive: 10xy=710x - y = -7

Final Answer:

The standard form of the equation is: 10xy=710x - y = -7

Check:

  • A=10A = 10, B=1B = -1, and C=7C = -7 are integers.
  • The greatest common factor (GCF) of AA, BB, and CC is 11.
