1. **State the problem:** Rewrite the equation $y = 3x - 10$ in standard form.
2. **Recall the standard form of a linear equation:** The standard form is $$Ax + By = C$$ where $A$, $B$, and $C$ are integers, and $A$ should be non-negative.
3. **Start with the given equation:**
$$y = 3x - 10$$
4. **Move all terms to one side to get $Ax + By = C$:**
$$y - 3x = -10$$
5. **Rewrite to have $x$ term first:**
$$-3x + y = -10$$
6. **Make $A$ positive by multiplying both sides by $-1$:**
$$\cancel{-1}(-3x + y) = \cancel{-1}(-10)$$
$$3x - y = 10$$
7. **Final standard form:**
$$3x - y = 10$$
This is the equation in standard form where $A=3$, $B=-1$, and $C=10$.
