Katarina wrote the standard form of a linear equation as 4x – 4 x minus StartFraction 2 Over 3 EndFraction y equals 8.y = 8. Sofiya told her that the equation was not yet in standard form and gave her the right advice for how to fix it. What advice did Sofiya give to Katarina?

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3. The standard form of the equation is 12x – 2y = 24.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 and then divide both sides by 2. The standard form of the equation is 6x – y = 12.

Sofiya told her to multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction, then divide by 2 to remove the common factor.

Explanation: 4x − (2/3)y = 8 → multiply by 3 → 12x − 2y = 24 → divide by 2 → 6x − y = 12, which is the standard form with integer coefficients.
