Question

Write 6y = x + 5 in standard form using integers.
A. –x + 6y = 5
B. -6x - 6y = 30
C. 6x - 6y = 30
D. –6x + 6y = 30

Answer 1

Write 6y = x + 5 in standard form using integers.

standard form : ax + by =c

so 

answer

A. –x + 6y = 5 

Answer 2

Standard form is Ax+By=C, so with that knowledge, we can work with the problem to get it how we want it!

Our first step is to get x and y on the same side of the equals sign. To do that, we can subtract an x from both sides, turning 6y = x + 5 into -x +6y = 5. Lucky for us, this brings us straight to the answer, which is A) -x +6y = 5!
