Question is asking about which shows the equation [tex]12x+4y=480[/tex] in general form. Options are not given but we can still find the solution.
Given equation [tex]12x+4y=480[/tex] is a linear equation so we will need to check general formula of the equation of line. which is given by formula:
[tex]ax+by+c=0[/tex]
Where a, b and c are integers.
Now compare given equation [tex]12x+4y=480[/tex] with general formula [tex]ax+by+c=0[/tex] to find the difference between them.
We see that every term is on the left side of the = in formula but 480 is on the right side of give equation so we will move 480 to the left side.
to do that we subtract 480 from both sides
[tex]12x+4y-480=480-480[/tex]
[tex]12x+4y-480=0[/tex]
Now the new equation looks exactly like the general formula.
Hence final answer is [tex]12x+4y-480=0[/tex]
