y-x=1yx=1 is in the form ax+by=cax+by=c

Explanation:

When an equation is in standard form, all of the variable terms will be on one side, and all of the constant terms (numbers) will be on the other side.

y+1= x+2y+1=x+2

  • Subtract 1 from both sides

=>y=x+1y=x+1

  • Subtract x from both sides

=>y-x=1yx=1

y-x=1yx=1 is in the form ax+by=cax+by=c, where aa, bb and cc are constants/integers.
