Question

Equation $\frac{x}{3}-\frac{y}{2}=1$ can be written in standard form as __________.

• A. $3x-2y-6=0$
• B. $2x-3y-6=0$
• C. $2x-3y=6$
• D. $2x-3y=1$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$2x-3y-6=0$

$\frac{x}{3}-\frac{y}{2}=1$
$\therefore \frac{2x-3y}{6}=1$
$\therefore 2x-3y=6$
$\therefore 2x-3y-6=0$ which is a standard form
