You can put this solution on YOUR website! The standard form of an equation is:
ax + by = c
So in the equation 5y=10x-25
ax = 10x, by = 5y and c = -25
So, in order to identify a, b and c, we need to first put it into standard form because when we do some of these numbers may change.
5y = 10x -25
First we can subtract the 10x from both sides of the equation.
-10x + 5y = -25
Now we have to distrubute the negative sign - in order to identify our true numbers...
10x -5y + 25
ax + by = c
so...
a = 10
b = -5
c = 25
I hope this helps.
Good Luck!
