Question

Write y – 2 =– 1 (x + 6) in standard form using integers.

Answer 1

y - 2 = -1(x + 6)

Expanding the right side:

y - 2 = -x - 6

Adding x to both sides:

y + x - 2 = -6

Adding 2 to both sides:

y + x = -4

Rearranging the terms:

x + y = -4

Thus, the standard form of the given equation using integers is x + y = -4.
