Q. What is y+3=7(x−2) written in standard form?Choose 1 answer:(A) y=7x−5(B) −7x+y=−5(C) y=7x−17(D) −7x+y=−17
Distribute 7 to both terms: First, we need to distribute the 7 to both terms inside the parentheses on the right side of the equation.y+3=7(x−2)y+3=7x−14
Subtract 3 from both sides: Next, we need to subtract 3 from both sides to move the constant term to the right side of the equation.y+3−3=7x−14−3y=7x−17
Write equation in standard form: Now, we need to write the equation in standard form, which is Ax+By=C. To do this, we subtract 7x from both sides to get the x term on the left side.−7x+y=−17
Check answer choices: Finally, we check the answer choices to see which one matches our equation in standard form.(A) y=7x−5 (This is not in standard form.)(B) −7x+y=−5 (This does not match our equation.)(C) y=7x−17 (This is not in standard form.)(D) −7x+y=−17 (This matches our equation in standard form.)
