Question

Complete the solution of the equation. Find

the value of y when x equals -7.
-7x - 5y = 54

Answer 1

(x= -7 , y = -1) is the complete solution of the equation.

Explanation:

The given equation is -7x - 5y = 54

Now, here substitute x = -7

So, we get

-7(-7) -5y = 54

or, 49 - 5y = 54

⇒ -5y = 54 - 49

or, -5y = 5

⇒ y = 5/(-5) = -1 , ⇒ y = -1

Hence, (x= -7 , y = -1) is the complete solution of the equation.
