Answer:
4x + 7y = -16
Explanation:
The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C where A and B cannot be fractions and A is not negative. To write in standard form, clear the denominator by multiplying the equation by 2. Then move the constant to the other side of the equal sign using subtraction.
2x + 8 + 7/2y = 0
2(2x + 8 + 7/2y = 0)
4x + 16 + 7y = 0
4x + 7y = -16
