Are you sure that the question is y=%283%2F5%29x%2B7%2F10?


y=%283%2F5%29x%2B7%2F10 Start with the given equation


y-%283%2F5%29x=7%2F10 Subtract (3/5)x from both sides


-%283%2F5%29x%2By=7%2F10 Rearrange the terms


10%28-%283%2Fcross%285%29%29x%2By%29=10%287%2Fcross%2810%29%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 10 to clear the fractions


-6%2Ax%2B10%2Ay=7 Distribute and multiply



Now the equation is in standard form Ax%2BBy=C where A=-6, B=10 and C=7
