Standard Form

Write Equations

To rewrite equations in standard form, write1 , the x variable term must have a positive coefficient and the values of A and B must be integers.

Example 1 Rewrite write_ex1 in standard form.

Step 1. Since the x coefficient is positive, add 7 to both sides of the equation.

write_ex1-2

Step 2. Subtract y from both sides of the equation.

write_ex1-2
