write the equation in standard form -

2x + 4 =4y

write the equation in standard form -

9-2(x-y)= 4x + 3

Standard form is just putting (in this case) variables in alphabetical order. First we simplify- 2x+4=4y would become 1/2x+1=y. This is already in standard form, as numbers w/o variables come at the end. simplifying the next one is more tricky. first you get a variable/number alone-
9-2x-2y=4x+3
9-2y=6x+3
6-2y=6x
1-1/3y=x
1=x+1/3y
3=x+y
x+y=3
sorry if I was wrong and not of any help, But I do believe this is correct.

What standard for is is when all the variables are on one side in order, without being expressed as a decimal or fraction.

To put 2x+4=4y in standard form, first subtract 4 from both sides.

2x=4y-4
Now, subtract 4y from both sides.

2x-4y=-4

Now the equation is in standard form.

To put the next equation in order, first distribute -2 into (x-y) to get:

9-2x+2y=4x+3

Because one variable cannot be on both sides, subtract 4x from both sides.

9-6x+2y=3

Now subtract 9 to both sides:

-6x+2y=-6

My teacher last year did not like when the first variable in standard form was negative. If that is the case with your teacher, distribute -1 into everything on both sides of the equation. That would look like:

6x-2y=6

If your teacher is impartial, then you can leave there equation how it was.

So the answers are:

2x-4y=-4
-6x+2y=-6 (or 6x-2y=6)

The answer is why would a teacher ask that
