Katarina wrote the standard form of a linear equation as 4x - y = 8. Sofiya told her that the equation was not yet in standard form and gave her the right advice for how to fix it. What advice did Sofiya give to Katarina?

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3. The standard form of the equation is 12x - 2y = 24.

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 and then divide both sides by 2. The standard form of the equation is 6x - y = 12.

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3. The standard form of the equation is 12x - 2y = 8.

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 and then divide both sides by 2. The standard form of the equation is 6x - y = 4.

The answer is b

multiply both sides of the equation by 3 and then divide both sides by 12.

the standard form of the equation is 12x-2y=8

Omari Sims · Answer 2

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. The advice that Sofiya give to Katarina would be to mulltiply both sides of the equation by 3. The standard form of the equation is 12x - 3y = 24. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
