See a solution process below:

Explanation:

The standard form of a linear equation is: #color(red)(A)x + color(blue)(B)y = color(green)(C)#

Where, if at all possible, #color(red)(A)#, #color(blue)(B)#, and #color(green)(C)#are integers, and A is non-negative, and, A, B, and C have no common factors other than 1

To write this equation in Standard Linear Form add #color(red)(7x)# to each side of the equation:

#color(red)(7x) + y = color(red)(7x) - 7x + 2#

#7x + y = 0 + 2#

#color(red)(7)x + color(blue)(1)y = color(green)(2)#
