Write each equation in standard form using integers. (y+3=4 (x-1), y=1/4x-2, y+2=2/3 (x+4)) Oh and btw this isn't middle school, this is high school.

Standard form: Ax + By = C where A, B, and C are integers.

(if you don't remember, integers are numbers like ... - 2, - 1, 0, 1, 2, 3 ... etc.)

Question 1

y+3=4 (x-1)

Distribute the 4.

y+3=4x-4

Subtract 3 from the left.

y=4x-7

Subtract 4x from the right.

-4x+y=-7

multiply everything by - 1 and make the x coefficient positive, it looks better

4x-y=7

y=1/4x-2

multiply everything by 4 to get rid of fractions

4y=x-8

subtract x

-x+4y=-8

multiply by - 1

x-4y=8

y+2=2/3 (x+4)

multiply by 3 to get rid of fractions

3y+6=2 (x+4)

distribute

3y+6=2x+8

subtract 6

3y=2x+2

subtract 2x

-2x+3y=2

multiply by - 1

2x-3y=-2
