Case facts: Y=326.2x - 241.6

What is the standard form of the linear model?

The answer is: 1631x-5y= 1208

Please explain step by step how this is the answer.•Algebra - Steve, Wednesday, March 2, 2016 at 7:09pm
man, there are only about two steps:

y = 326.2x - 241.6

collect x and y stuff on the left:

326.2x - y = 241.6

now multiply by 5 to clear the decimal points:

1631x - 5y = 1208

***WHY DID YOU KNOW TO MULTIPLE BY 5?*****

ummh, notice that two of the terms has a single decimal place with that decimal being an even number
What happens when you multiply any even number by 5 ?
