Question

Rewrite the following equation in standard form.

y= 5/7x− 2

Answer 1

Step (1) Flip the equation
$\frac{5}{7} x - 2 = y \\ \frac{5}{7} x = y + 2$
Step (2) Add 2 to both sides

$\frac{5}{7} x - 2 + 2 = y + 2$
Step (3) Divide both sides by 5/7

$\frac{5}{7} x = y + 2 \\ \frac{5}{7} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \frac{5}{7}$
ANSWER
x=7y+14 divided by 5 but 5 is under 7y+14
