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.

Explanation:

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.
