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

$9 (x - 1) = 2 y$

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

Simplify the left side.

Simplify $9 (x - 1)$ .

Apply the distributive property.

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

Multiply $9$ by $- 1$ .

$9 x - 9 = 2 y$

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

Subtract $2 y$ from both sides of the equation.

$9 x - 9 - 2 y = 0$

Move $- 9$ .

$9 x - 2 y - 9 = 0$

Add $9$ to both sides of the equation.

$9 x - 2 y = 9$
