Write in Standard Form x=(-5y-1)/4

$x = \frac{- 5 y - 1}{4}$

Step 1

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

Step 2

Multiply both sides by $4$ .

$4 x = 4 \frac{- 5 y - 1}{4}$

Step 3

Simplify the right side.

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$4 x = 4 \frac{- 5 y - 1}{4}$

Rewrite the expression.

$4 x = - 5 y - 1$

Step 4

Add $5 y$ to both sides of the equation.

$4 x + 5 y = - 1$
