How do you write an equation with two fractions into standard form?

(2/5)x + (1/3)y - 2=0

2 answers

multiply through by the LCD (lowest common denominator)
... in this case , 15
The standard form is

Ax + By = C

So, yours can be done as

(2/5)x + (1/3)y = 2

Next, clear the fractions by multiplying through by LCM(3,5)=15 and you have

6x + 5y = 30
