Rewrite y=3x-24 in standard form by completing the equation

Answer 1

To rewrite the equation $y=3x-24$ in standard form, we want to rearrange it into the format $Ax+By=C$, where $A$, $B$, and $C$ are integers, and $A$ is non-negative.

Starting with:

$$y=3x-24$$

we can rearrange it by moving all terms involving $x$ and $y$ to one side of the equation:

$$-3x+y=-24$$

For standard form, we typically want $A$ to be positive, so we can multiply the entire equation by -1:

$$3x-y=24$$

Now, the equation is in standard form:

$$3x-y=24$$

Thus, the standard form of the equation is $3x-y=24$.
