Write in Standard Form -2(x+y)+9=1

$- 2 (x + y) + 9 = 1$

Step 1

The standard form of a linear equation is $A x + B y = C$ .

Step 2

Simplify the left side.

Apply the distributive property.

$- 2 x - 2 y + 9 = 1$

Step 3

Rewrite the equation.

$1 = - 2 x - 2 y + 9$

Step 4

Move all terms containing variables to the left side of the equation.

Add $2 x$ to both sides of the equation.

$1 + 2 x = - 2 y + 9$

Add $2 y$ to both sides of the equation.

$1 + 2 x + 2 y = 9$

Move $1$ .

$2 x + 2 y + 1 = 9$

Step 5

Move all terms not containing a variable to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $1$ from both sides of the equation.

$2 x + 2 y = 9 - 1$

Subtract $1$ from $9$ .

$2 x + 2 y = 8$
