We are given
\n" ); document.write( "(i) $\"y=%282%2F3%29x-25%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "standard form requires two things
\n" ); document.write( "(1) no fractions
\n" ); document.write( "(2) x and y on the same side
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "step 1 - multiply (i) by 3 to get
\n" ); document.write( "(ii) $\"3y+=+2x+-+25\"$
\n" ); document.write( "step 2 - subtract 2x to get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-2x+%2B+3y+=+-+25\"$
\n" ); document.write( "at this point some teacher require positive x's, sop we could write
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x++-+3y+=+25\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
