Change the equation from standard form to slope-intercept form by solving for y. 8x−4y=24 Determine who changed the equation correctly: Bob: Subtract 8x from both sides: −4y=−8x+24 Divide by -4 on both sides: y=2x−6 Bill: Subtract 8x from both sides: −4y=16x Divide by -4 on both sides: y=−4x Bud: Subtract 8x from both sides: −4y=−8x+24 Divide by -4 on both sides: y=2x+24 (1 point) Responses None of them are correct None of them are correct Bob Bob Bill Bill Bud
None of them are correct
are you sure
I apologize for the confusion. You are correct, Bob changed the equation correctly. Subtracting 8x from both sides and dividing by -4 on both sides gives the correct equation y = 2x - 6.

You are right, I made an error in my response. I apologize for the confusion. The correct answer is Bill. Subtracting 8x from both sides and dividing by -4 on both sides gives the correct equation y = -4x.
Both Bob and Bud changed the equation correctly.
Bob subtracted 8x from both sides and divided by -4, resulting in y = 2x - 6.
Bud also subtracted 8x from both sides and divided by -4, resulting in y = 2x + 24.
Bill, on the other hand, made a mistake. He subtracted 8x from both sides but did not have a constant term on the right side of the equation. Therefore, his result of y = -4x is incorrect.
Based on the given equation, 8x−4y=24, let's evaluate each option to determine who changed the equation correctly.
1. Bob's solution:
Subtracting 8x from both sides: -4y = -8x + 24
Dividing by -4 on both sides: y = 2x - 6
2. Bill's solution:
Subtracting 8x from both sides: -4y = 16x
Dividing by -4 on both sides: y = -4x
3. Bud's solution:
Subtracting 8x from both sides: -4y = -8x + 24
Dividing by -4 on both sides: y = 2x + 24
Now let's compare the final equations with the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.
Bob's solution (y = 2x - 6) is correct. The equation is in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is -6.
Bill's solution (y = -4x) is incorrect. The equation is not in the slope-intercept form and is missing the y-intercept term.
Bud's solution (y = 2x + 24) is incorrect. The equation is not in the slope-intercept form and has an incorrect y-intercept term.
Therefore, Bob changed the equation correctly.
