Question

How do u solve y-3=2/3(x+5) in standard form

Answer 1

The standard form:

$Ax+By=C$

----------------------------------------------------

$y-3=\dfrac{2}{3}(x+5)$             multiply both sides by 3

$3y-9=2(x+5)$           use distributive property

$3y-9=2x+10$        add 9 to both sides

$3y=2x+19$            subtract 2x from both sides

$-2x+3y=19$           change the signs

$\boxed{2x-3y=-19}$
