The equation in standard form is #2/3x-y=7#.

The standard form for a linear equation is #"A"_x"B"_y"=C"#, where #"A", "B", and "C"# are numbers, and #x and y# are variables.

#y=2/3x-7#

Subtract #2/3x# from both sides of the equation.

#-2/3x+y=-7#

Multiply both sides by #-1#.

#2/3x-y=7#

#"A"=2/3,# #"B"=-1,# #"C"=7#
