The problem asks to rewrite the equation $y = 7x + 8$ in standard form, where the standard form of a linear equation is given as:

$Ax + By = C$

To convert $y = 7x + 8$ into this form:

1. Start with the given equation: $y = 7x + 8$.
2. Subtract $7x$ from both sides to move the $x$-term to the left-hand side: $-7x + y = 8$
3. Now, the equation is in standard form $Ax + By = C$, where $A = -7$, $B = 1$, and $C = 8$.

So, the standard form is:

$-7x + y = 8$
