Exercise 58 Page 245

You will need to apply the Properties of Equality, solving until the equation is in standard form.

2x+5y=26

Practice makes perfect
Equations in standard form are written in a specific format. Ax+ By= CIn this form, A, B, and C are integers, and A and B cannot both be zero. We will use the Properties of Equality to rewrite the given equation in this form.
y-2=-2/5(x-8)
5(y-2)=-2(x-8)
5y-10=-2x+16
5y=-2 x+26
2x+5y=26
Now we can compare this result with the general standard form equation. Ax+ By&= C 2x+ 5y&= 26
