Question 62366: This question is from a homework worksheet.
Write each equation in standard form.
y+3=2/5(x+9)
I am using ISBN 0-07-866766-6 Algebra 1 Glencoe Mathmatics as my text book, but I can't find any illustration that tells how to do this problem. PLEASE HELP

The standard form for a linear equation, such as the one in this problem, is:
ax + by = c
So you need to rearrange your equation to appear in this form using the standard rules of algebra.
Multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction.
Simplify by applying the distributive property.
Subtract 5y from both sides.
Subtract 18 from both sides.
