Question

Rewrite the equation 2x + 4y + 2 = 3y + 5 in general form.

Answer 1

I believe that the general form would be 2x +4y+ 2 = 3y + 5
2x + 4y + 2 - 3y - 5 = 0
2x + y - 3 = 0

Answer 2

Answer: The required general form of the given equation is

`2x+y=3.`

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to rewrite the following equation in general form :

`2x+4y+2=3y+5~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)`

We know that

the general form of a linear equation in two variables x and y is written as :

`ax+by=c,~~\textup{[where a and b cannot be zero at the same time]}`

So, from equation (i0, we have

`2x+4y+2=3y+5\\\\\Rightarrow 2x+4y-3y=5-2\\\\\Rightarrow 2x+y=3.`

Thus, the required general form of the given equation is

`2x+y=3.`
