See a solution process below;

Explanation:

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 add color(red)(3x) to each side of the equation to transform it to standard linear form:

color(red)(3x) + y = color(red)(3x) - 3x

color(red)(3)x + color(blue)(1)y = color(green)(0)
