how do i change an equation with fractions to a regular equation in standard form

Question

It says Y = 9/4 + 3/2     WRITE IN STANDARD FORM

 

I don't understand it gives me some answer choices but each one doesn't include fractions in the answer.

Answer 1

I think It should be:

 

   Y = 9/4 X + 3/2

 

   Multiply both sides  by 4:

 

     4Y = 9X + 6

 

        9X - 4y = -6   / This is standard form

 

 Y = mX  +b  /  Slope intercept form

 

  mX - Y = -b   / Is standard form

 

 

Answer 2

Hi Kailani;

Standard form is...

Ax+By=C, neither A nor B equal zero and A is greater than zero.

Y = 9/4 + 3/2

You omitted the x.  I am assuming...

Y = (9/4)x + 3/2

Let's move the (9/4)x to the left side...

-(9/4)x+Y=3/2

-(9/4) is not greater than zero.  Therefore, we will multiply both sides by -1...

(9/4)x-y=-3/2

 

Answer 3

I am not sure I really understand your question/problem.  Perhaps you're asking about converting fractions to decimals?

 

y = 2.25 + 1.5 = 3.75

 

OR

 

You might be asking about finding the least common factor?

 

y = 9/4 + 6/4 = 15/4 = 3  3/4
