How to write y=-1/2x + 1 in standard form

Hey there!

The equation in y=mx+b is

To write in standard form, it would look like:

As you can see, the x and y should be on the same side. You will need to move to the other side. When moving a number/variable to the other side, the sign changes, therefore, the negative sign will be removed. It is also the same as adding the opposite of it to both sides.

In standard form, there are no fractions, only whole numbers. The fraction can be removed by multiplying it by its opposite. The opposite of is .

The entire equation has to be multiplied by 2:

Hope this helps!

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

26 is 33.33% of 78

step-by-step explanation:

26 is what percent of 78?

26 is p% of 78

equation: y = p% * x

solving our equation for p

p% = y/x

p% = 26/78

p = 0.3333

convert decimal to percent:

p% = 0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%
