What is the standard form of the equation of the line 3x + 4y = 8 and 5x + 6y = 10?

  1. x-2y=3

  2. x+2y=3

  3. 2x+y=3

  4. 2x-y=3

The correct answer is: x+2y=3

This is because the standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants. In order to get the given equations in standard form, we need to rearrange the terms so that the x and y variables are on one side and the constant is on the other. In options A, C, and D, the variables are not on the same side as the constant and are not in the correct order. Therefore, they are incorrect. Option B is the only one that is in standard form, with x and y on the left side and the constant on the right side.
