Write the equation into standard form y=3x+7

Answer 1

Standard form looks like this:

Ax + By = C

The 7 is the constant, so it stays on the right side of the equation.

The "y" is already where it is supposed to be, so we leave it on the left side of the equation.

The 3x is on the wrong side of the equation, so we subtract 3x from both sides of the equation.

Organize according to the Standard Form and we have: 3x - y = 7

Answer 2

The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C. In this problem, we are given the equation essentially in the form of By = Ax + C.

Therefore, for y=3x+7, move the x term to the left, changing the sign to a negative since it's going on the other side of our equal sign, to get the answer:

-3x + y = 7
