What is the standard form of an equation and how do you solve it?

The standard form of a linear equation is typically expressed as ( Ax + By = C ), where ( A ), ( B ), and ( C ) are integers, and ( A ) is non-negative. To solve it, you can rearrange the equation to isolate one variable (either ( x ) or ( y )) on one side, or you can use methods such as substitution or elimination if you're working with a system of equations. Graphically, you can plot the equation by finding intercepts or using slope-intercept form for visualization.
