A 6) Set both given equations equal to zero, then combine them into one standard form equation. Simplify if possible.
7x + 3 = 5 and y-1 = 6

The standard equation is 7x + y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations given are:  

7x + 3 = 5 and y - 1 = 6

Set both given equations equal to zero, then combine them into one standard form equation

Set the equations to zero by moving the constant from R.H.S to L.H.S

7x + 3 - 5 = 0

7x - 2 = 0 eq 1

y - 1 = 6

y - 1 - 6 = 0

y - 7 = 0 eq 2

We have to combine eq 1 and eq 2

7x - 2 + y - 7 = 0

7x + y - 9 = 0

The standard form of an equation is Ax + By = C

In this kind of equation, x and y are variables and A, B, and C are integers

Thus the standard equation is:

7x + y - 9 = 0

7x + y = 9

Thus the standard equation is 7x + y = 9
