In order to solve an equation for a variable, we need to isolate that variable on one side of the equation (either left side or right side).
Following are some steps to solve equation/inequality in one variable:
1) Get rid constant number from on side by applying reverse operation of addition or subtraction.
2) Get rid variable terms from other side by applying reverse operation of addition or subtraction.
3) Combine like terms on both sides.
4) Get rid any coefficent ( a number in front of a variable) by dividing from both sides.
5) Finally you get a variable on one side and solution on other side.

Answer: Choice A
x+3y = 14
======================================================
Explanation:
The general template for standard form is Ax+By = C, where A,B,C are integers.
This immediately rules out choices C and D, since they don't fit the format mentioned.
To see which of A or B we can eliminate or confirm, plug (x,y) coordinates from the graph into each answer choice. The ultimate goal is to get a true statement.
For example, the graph shows that (x,y) = (2,4) is on the line. Plug this into choice A to get...
x+3y = 14
2+3(4) = 14
2+12 = 14
14 = 14 this is true
So far so good. The point (2,4) is on the line x+3y = 14. Repeat those steps for (-1, 5) and you should get another true result. So that would confirm choice A is the answer. You only need a minimum of two points to define a unique line, meaning we only need to verify two points on the line. Anything more is just extra busy work.
---------
If we tried (2,4) with choice B, then,
5x+3y = 14
5(2)+3(4) = 14
10+12 = 14
22 = 14 which is false
This indicates (2,4) is not on the line 5x+3y = 14. We can rule out choice B because of this.
