The equation in standard form is $2/3x-y=7$ .

The standard form for a linear equation is $"A"_x"B"_y"=C"$ , where $"A", "B", and "C"$ are numbers, and $x and y$ are variables.

$y=2/3x-7$

Subtract $2/3x$ from both sides of the equation.

$-2/3x+y=-7$

Multiply both sides by $-1$ .

$2/3x-y=7$

$"A"=2/3,$ $"B"=-1,$ $"C"=7$
