Determine which equation is in standard form: a. x+3=5yx+3=-5y, b. 5y=x5-y=x, c. y=3x+6y=3x+6, d. 8x+3y=12-8x+3y=12.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. Standard form for a linear equation is Ax+By=CAx + By = C, where AA, BB, and CC are integers, and AA is non-negative.
2. We are given four options and we need to identify which one is in standard form.

STEP 2

Examine option a: x+3=5yx+3=-5y
To put this equation into standard form, we need to rearrange it so that xx and yy terms are on the same side and the constant is on the other side.

STEP 3

Rearrange option a to move the yy term to the same side as the xx term.
x+5y=3x + 5y = -3

STEP 4

Check if the coefficients are integers and if the coefficient of xx is non-negative.
In the rearranged equation x+5y=3x + 5y = -3, all coefficients are integers and the coefficient of xx is positive (1). However, the equation is not in standard form because the constant term is negative.

STEP 5

Examine option b: 5y=x5-y=x
To put this equation into standard form, we need to rearrange it so that xx and yy terms are on the same side and the constant is on the other side.

STEP 6

Rearrange option b to move the xx term to the same side as the yy term.
xy=5-x - y = -5

STEP 7

Check if the coefficients are integers and if the coefficient of xx is non-negative.
In the rearranged equation xy=5-x - y = -5, all coefficients are integers but the coefficient of xx is negative. This is not in standard form.

STEP 8

Examine option c: y=3x+6y=3x+6
To put this equation into standard form, we need to rearrange it so that xx and yy terms are on the same side and the constant is on the other side.

STEP 9

Rearrange option c to move the xx term to the same side as the yy term.
3x+y=6-3x + y = 6

STEP 10

Check if the coefficients are integers and if the coefficient of xx is non-negative.
In the rearranged equation 3x+y=6-3x + y = 6, all coefficients are integers but the coefficient of xx is negative. This is not in standard form.

STEP 11

Examine option d: 8x+3y=12-8x+3y=12
Check if the coefficients are integers and if the coefficient of xx is non-negative.
In the equation 8x+3y=12-8x+3y=12, all coefficients are integers but the coefficient of xx is negative. This is not in standard form according to the traditional definition, but some texts allow the coefficient of xx to be negative as long as it is an integer.

STEP 12

Determine which equation meets the standard form criteria.
Option a is not in standard form because the constant term is negative. Option b is not in standard form because the coefficient of xx is negative. Option c is not in standard form because the coefficient of xx is negative. Option d could be considered in standard form if the definition allows for a negative coefficient of xx.

STEP 13

If the definition of standard form allows for a negative coefficient of xx, then option d is the correct answer. Otherwise, none of the options are in perfect standard form according to the strictest definition.
The equation in standard form is option d: 8x+3y=12-8x+3y=12.
