The standard form will be #5x + 7y + 35 = 0#

Because the standard form is #x+y+#constant#=0#

The standard form will be #5x + 7y + 35 = 0#

Rearrange the equation so it fits the form #Ax+By=C#, where #A# is not negative, and #A# and #B# are not both equal to zero.

The standard form of a linear equation is #Ax+By=C#, where #A# is not negative and #A# and #B# are not both equal to zero.

#7y=-5x-35#

Add #5x# to both sides of the equation.

#5x+7y=-35#

The equation is now in standard form.
