You will need to apply the Properties of Equality, solving until the equation is in standard form.
2x+(-1)y=-5
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.
LHS-5=RHS-5
LHS-y=RHS-y
Rearrange equation
a+(- b)=a-b
Now we can see that our equation follows the standard form. Ax+ B y&= C 2x+ (-1)y&= -5
