Convert y=3x2y = 3x - 2 to standard form.

A

3xy=23x - y = 2

B

3x+y=23x + y = 2

C

3xy=23x - y = -2

D

x3y=2x - 3y = 2

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Rearrange.

  1. Subtract y: 0=3xy20 = 3x - y - 2.
  2. Add 2: 2=3xy2 = 3x - y.
  3. Result: 3xy=23x - y = 2.

💡 Strategic Tip: Check signs carefully when moving terms across the equals sign.

Choice B is incorrect because sign error on y. Choice C is incorrect because sign error on constant. Choice D is incorrect because coefficients swapped.
