Question

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

$0.5x=3$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The standard form of the given equation is $x+0y=6$ and the value of A, B and C are $1,0\text{ and 6}$ respectively.

Step 1- Given information

A linear equation $0.5x=3$.

Step 2- Concept used

The Standard form of a linear equation is:

$Ax+By=C$   where, A, B and C are integers whose greatest common factor is 1.

Step 3- To find the standard form and value of A, B and C

From given information,

$\begin{array}{l}0.5x=3\\ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}x=3\\ \Rightarrow x=6\\ \Rightarrow x+0y=6\end{array}$

The standard form of the given equation is:

$x+0y=6$

Now compare this equation by the equation $Ax+By=C$.

So, $A=1,B=0\text{ and }C=6$

Hence, the standard form of the given equation is $x+0y=6$ and the value of A, B and C are $1,0\text{ and 6}$ respectively.
