Question

How do you write `x=17` in standard form?

Answer 1

It depends on how you are thinking of it.

Explanation:

"Standard Form" means different things when applied to different objects.

Polynomial Equation
This question was posted as a question about "Polynomials in Standard Form".
This equation is not a polynomial , but we can think of it as a polynomial equation.
Standard form for a polynomial equation has the polynomial on the left and `0` on the right.

For this equation, we write `x-17 = 0`.

Equation of a Line (Linear equation in two variables.)

We can also think of this as an equation in two variables whose graph is a straight line. (It it the vertical line through the point `(17,0)`
Standard form for the equation of a line is `Ax+By = C`

Because we usually do not write coefficients of `1` and we usually don't write terms with coefficient `0`, it is already in an acceptable standard form. `x=17`

If we want to make it more explicit, we could write:
`1x+0y = 17`
