Answer:

(-5, -8); the missing value is -8

Explanation:

First, you need to simplify the given equation to isolate y

1: -3x + 7y = 5x + 2y (Given)

2: 7y = 8x + 2y (Add 3x to both sides)

3: 5y = 8x (Subtract 2y from both sides)

4: y = 8/5x (Divide both sides by 5)

Now, you can use this to solve for the missing y in value set (-5, y)

where y = 8/5x and x = -5,

y = 8/5(-5)

y = -8

so, the missing value is -8
