Putting an equation in standard form when you have fractions

1:55 Forgot to also multiply 20 in the right side. Final answer must be: 15x+8y=20

Ya your right on the left side of the equation but on the right side of the equals sign you needed to multiply -1 with 20.
You helped me with the fractions tho. Thanks!

I've been a straight A student for 3 years and today I took a test on this and most likely failed because this specific information completely disappeared from my brain, thanks for this

[irishcruz]

i had this for my homework! thank you so much

[amelieelise]

why don't you multiply the negative 1 by 20?

Your way of teaching is great. I think there is a mistake. The constant should be 20.
The answer should be as follows:
15x+8y = 20

sorry you have mistake the lift side of equation = 20 not 1

Thank you! This helped me a lot in my lesson

Guys, I think standard form is Ax+By+C=0

[leturtle]

So the x can be negative in standard form?

thank you so much this will help as in very much in my exam

This hasn't helped me at all, I've done the problem multiple times with the equation I had acquired. It's still wrong and I generally wonder if this is the right way. note that the equation I have does not have a x and a y, just a x if this will help out with specifications and maybe I'm still doing something wrong
