STANDARD FORM OF A LINEAR EQUATION

Day 1

SECTION 5.5a

The equation 2 3y x is written _______________ form.

If we move “ 2xwe have _______________________.

” to the other side of the equation,

2 3y x slope intercept

2x

2 3x y

2 3x y

If we move “ 2xwe have _______________________.

” to the other side of the equation,

2 3x y

This is still a ________ equation, but it is written in a different form.

linear

A linear equation in the form _______________ is in ______________, where A, B, and C are integers.

Ax By C standard form

A linear equation in the form _______________ is in ______________, where A, B, and C are integers.

Ax By C standard form

Remember the set of integers is

.... 4, 3, 2, 1, 0,1, 2, 3, 4...

NO FRACTIONS!!!NO DECIMALS !!!

Example 1:A. Jackie is in charge of selling tickets for the school jazz

concert at $2.00 for students and $4.00 for adults. She hopes that the total ticket sales will be about $600 in order to cover expenses and make a modest profit. Write a linear equation in standard form to model this

situation.

B. A donation of $300 was make to the Classical Music Club for the purpose of building their collection of CDs. At the local music store, some classical CDs cost $10 and other cost $15. The club wants to know how many of each type can buy with the $300.

(Do not consider sales tax.) Write an equation in standard form to model this
