#3y=2x+6# in standard form is #color(blue)(2x-3y=-6#

The formula for a linear equation in standard form is:

#Ax+By=C#,

where A and B are not both equal to #0#.

Convert the following equation to standard form.

#3y=2x+6#

Subtract #2x# from both sides.

#-2x+3y=6#

Multiply both sides by #-1#. This will reverse the signs, so that the coefficient for A becomes positive.

#2x-3y=-6#
