You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your equation already is in slope-intercept form!

Converting into STANDARD FORM?
You want a form like Ax%2BBy=c.
The equation as you have is almost like what you need, only requiring ONE SIMPLE STEP.

y%2B%28-3x%29=3x%2B18%2B%28-3x%29, I am using more than just one step;
-3x%2By=3x%2B%28-3x%29%2B18
-3x%2By=0%2B18
highlight%28-3x%2By=18%29
or you can use the equivalent equation, highlight%283x-y=-18%29. Do you understand how?
