Give your answer as an improper fraction in its simplest form.
answer??

Answer 1

-19/9

Explanation:

First, you would plug in the numbers for y and r. Therefore, your equation should now be 5 = 9x + 24. Now you would put like terms on the same side. It now then look like -19 = 9x. You divide by 9 to get the x by itself. The answer should be x = -19/9.
