Rewrite the following equation in standard form.y=10x+3Hint: The standard form of a linear equation is Ax+By=C where A and B are not both zero, and A, B, and C are integers whose GCF is 1.
Q. Rewrite the following equation in standard form.y=10x+3Hint: The standard form of a linear equation is Ax+By=C where A and B are not both zero, and A, B, and C are integers whose GCF is 1.
Identify Equation: Identify the given equation and the standard form requirement.The given equation is y=10x+3. We need to rewrite it in the standard form Ax+By=C, where A, B, and C are integers with a greatest common factor (GCF) of 1, and A should be non-negative.
Move Term for Isolation: Move the term involving x to the other side of the equation to isolate y. To do this, we subtract 10x from both sides of the equation. y−10x=10x+3−10x This simplifies to: y−10x=3
Rearrange for Standard Form: Rearrange the terms to match the standard form.We want the x term to come before the y term, so we write the equation as:−10x+y=3
Ensure Non-Negative Coefficient: Ensure that the coefficient of x is non-negative.Since the standard form requires A to be non-negative, we multiply the entire equation by −1 to make the coefficient of x positive.−1(−10x+y)=−1(3)This simplifies to:10x−y=−3
Check GCF of Coefficients: Check if the coefficients have a GCF other than 1. The coefficients are 10, −1, and −3. The GCF of these numbers is 1, so we do not need to divide the entire equation by any number to reduce the coefficients.
