Answer:

Y = -
(28)/(5)

Explanation:

Given

R = 7X + 5Y ← substitute X = 9, R = 35

35 = 7(9) + 5Y

35 = 63 + 5Y ( subtract 63 from both sides )

- 28 = 5Y ( divide both sides by 5 )

-
(28)/(5) = Y

Answer:

y = -28/5

Explanation:

R = 7x +5y

35 = 7(9) + 5y

35 = 63 +5y

-5y= 63- 35

-5y/-5 = 28/-5

Y = -28/5
