Q. What is y−8=3(x+1) written in standard form?Choose 1 answer:(A) −3x+y−11=0(B) y=3x+11(C) y−8=3x+3(D) −3x+y=11
Distribute the 3: Distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses.y−8=3(x+1)y−8=3x+3
Add 8 to both sides: Add 8 to both sides to move the constant term to the right side of the equation.y−8+8=3x+3+8y=3x+11
Move x-term to same side: To write the equation in standard form Ax+By=C, we need to move the x-term to the same side as the y-term.Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation.−3x+y=11
Check coefficients and x-term: Check if the coefficients are integers and the x-term is positive. If not, multiply the entire equation by −1.In this case, the x-term is negative, so we multiply the entire equation by −1 to make the x-term positive.−1(−3x+y)=−1(11)3x−y=−11
Multiply equation by −1: To get the standard form Ax+By=C, where A, B, and C are integers, and A is non-negative, we need to multiply the equation by −1 again because the standard form requires A to be non-negative.−1(3x−y)=−1(−11)−3x+y=11
