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

We can rewrite this equation as:

color(red)(2)x + color(blue)(7)y = color(green)(12)
