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

To write this equation in Standard Linear Form add color(red)(7x) to each side of the equation:

color(red)(7x) + y = color(red)(7x) - 7x + 2

7x + y = 0 + 2

color(red)(7)x + color(blue)(1)y = color(green)(2)
