I've done the actual problem on my own, but I'm not sure how to put the answer. It needs to be in "general form"
The answer is 2y=3x+11.
In general form, would it be -3x+2y=11? or do I have it completely wrong and general form is something different? thanks.

Your answer for general form is really close.
You have to remember that the coefficient of x in a linear equation has to be positive.
So the next step would be to multiply the entire equation by -1:
So it would be:
3x-2y=-11

If by 'general' form you are refering to y=mx+b form, you would divide both sides by 2.
y = (3/2)x + (11/2)

If by general form you mean standard form then it would be 3x - 2y= -11
The x term must be positive.
