Question

Write each equation in standard form. Identify A, B and C.

$0.5x=-0.2y-0.4$

Short answer

The value of $A=0.5,B=0.2,C=-0.4$.

Step-by-step solution

– Defining the standard form of linear equation

The standard form of linear equation is $Ax+By=C$.

– Simplifying the given equation

We have:

$0.5x=-0.2y-0.4$

Add $0.2y$on both sides:

$\begin{array}{l}0.5x+0.2y=-0.2y+0.2y-0.4\\ 0.5x+0.2y=-0.4\end{array}$

$\therefore A=0.5,B=0.2,C=-0.4$

– Determining the final values

$A=0.5,B=0.2,C=-0.4$
