Answer:
5x + 6y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C.
Multiply both sides by 6
6y = 6(-5x/6 + 2)
Simplify the right side
Simplify
6(−5x/6+2)
Apply the distributive property = a ( b + c ) = ab + ac
6y = 6( −5x/6) + 6 ⋅ 2
Cancel the common factor of 6
Move the leading negative in −5x/6 into the numerator
6y = 6 −5x/6 + 6 ⋅ 2
Cancel the common factor 6
Rewrite the expression
6y = −5x + 6 ⋅ 2
Multiply 6 by 2
6y = -5x + 12
Move all terms containing variables to the left side of the equation
Add 5x to both sides of the equation.
6y + 5x = 12
Reorder 6y and 5x
5x + 6y = 12
