Explanation:
The standard form of a linear equation is: Ax+By=C
Where, if at all possible, A,B, and C are integers, and A is non-negative, and, A,B, and C have no common factors other than 1
First, we need to move the x term to the left side of the equation by subtracting 2x from each side of the equation:
-2x+y=-2x+2x-5
-2x+y=0-5
-2x+y=-5
Another requirement is for the x coefficient to be non-negative. Therefore, we must multiply each side of the equation by -1:
-1(-2x+y)=-1*-5
(-1*-2x)+(-1*y)=5
2x-y=5
2x-1y=5
