You will need to apply the Properties of Equality, solving until the equation is in standard form.
4x+(-1)y=7
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.
Distribute 4
LHS+4=RHS+4
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 4x+ (-1)y&= 7
