What is the standard form of y - 8 = 2 (x + 3) ?

A. 2x - y = - 14

B. 2x + y = 14

C. y = 2x + 14

D. y - 2x = 11

2x - y = - 14

A. 2x - y = - 14

Step-by-step explanation:The standard form of a linear equation is

Ax + By = C

So we can solve for C, the constant

y - 8 = 2 (x + 3)

y - 8 = 2x + 6

y = 2x + 14

-2x + y = 14

2x - y = - 14 (multiply both sides by - 1 to keep x positive)
