write y=5\3x-6/8 in standard form

Question

NEED TO WRITE IN STANDARD FORM

Answer 1

standard form is Ax + By = C where A, B and C are all integers.

 

y=5/3x-6/8  First, multiply by LCD 24:

 

24y = 40x -18

 

40x - 24y = 18

 

Division by 2 is recommended (this is because 6/8 should have been reduced to 24, making LCD just 12):

20x - 12y = 9
