SOLUTION: Rewrite the equation below in general form Ax + By = C
where A, B and C are the smallest integers possible
and A > 0.
y = {{{2/5}}}x + {{{2/17}}}
Question 98960: Rewrite the equation below in general form Ax + By = C
where A, B and C are the smallest integers possible
and A > 0.
y = x + Answer by Edwin McCravy(20056) (Show Source):
Rewrite the equation below in general form Ax + By = C
where A, B and C are the smallest integers possible
and A > 0.
y = x +
The LCD of denominators 5 and 17 is 85
Multiply through by 85
(85)(y) = (85)x + (85)
85y = 34x + 10
Subtract 34x from both sides
85y - 34x = 10
Reverse the terms on the left side:
-34x + 85y = 10
Multiply through by -1
(-1)(-34x) + (-1)(85y) = (-1)(10
34x - 85y = -10
