How do you find the standard form for a linear equation? For example : y=2x+3
\n" ); document.write( "Standard Form is \"highlight%28Ax%2BBy=C%29\", where A,B, and C are integers. Some books also require A to be positive.
\n" ); document.write( "y=2x+3
\n" ); document.write( "-2x+y=-2x+2x+3
\n" ); document.write( "-2x+y=3 <--Some books find this acceptable.
\n" ); document.write( "-1(-2x+y)=-1(3)
\n" ); document.write( "2x-y=-3 <--Others want this.
\n" ); document.write( "Happy Calculating!!!
