Write in Standard Form 4x-8=9y-5

$4 x - 8 = 9 y - 5$

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Subtract $9 y$ from both sides of the equation.

$4 x - 8 - 9 y = - 5$

Move $- 8$ .

$4 x - 9 y - 8 = - 5$

Step 3

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

Add $8$ to both sides of the equation.

$4 x - 9 y = - 5 + 8$

Add $- 5$ and $8$ .

$4 x - 9 y = 3$
