Standerd form example

Rewrite y=1/2x+4

we know that standard form equations cannot contain fractions. therefore, let's first get rid of the fractions. we can multiply by the Least Common Denominator (LCD) to get rid of the fraction.

y=1/2x+4

2[y=1,2x+4] multiply all terms by 2.

2y=x+8 distribute the 2 to all terms.

-x+2y=x-x+8 subtract x form both sides in order to x and y on the same side of the equation.

-x+2y=8

-1[-x+2y=8] multiply all terms by - 1 to make the lead coefficient positive.

x-2y=-8 the equation written in standard form.

3951 is an example of a standard form.

What standard form means is the number is written in numerical form.
