Given the equation:

x = y - 5

Change to standard form.

Solution:

In order to change the given equation to standard form, we simply need to transpose -5 to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.

x = y - 5

y = x + 5 

Final answer:

y = x + 5
