The standard form of a linear equation is Ax+By=C
It is most of the time also stated that A must be positive and A, B and C should all be integers.

y=x+3
You can subtract x from both sides, so you get:
y−x=3
This is sometimes regarded as the standard form, but most of the time, you need to make sure that A is positive, and it is currently −1. How can we change a negative number to a positive number: we multiply by −1. Also, whatever you do at the left part, you must also do at the right part:
- 1 ( y - x ) = - 1 3
−y+x=−3
After some reordering you get:
x−y=−3
