1. Problem Description
The problem asks to rewrite the equation in standard form. The standard form of a linear equation is , where A, B, and C are integers, A and B are not both zero, and the greatest common factor (GCF) of A, B, and C is
1.
2. Solution Steps
Starting with the given equation , we want to rearrange it into the form .
To achieve this, we can add to both sides of the equation:
Here, we have , , and .
Since , , and are integers, and the greatest common factor of 2, 1, and 1 is 1, this is the standard form of the given linear equation.
