Question

-3x+7y=5x+2y
Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation.
(-5, __ )

Answer 1

-8

Explanation:

Bring all the x to one side and all the y to the other side. Substitute the value of x into the equation then solve for y.

-3x+ 7y= 5x+ 2y

7y- 2y= 5x+ 3x

5y= 8x

when x= -5,

5y= -5(8)= -40

y= -40÷ 5= -8
