Question

3y=26-5x put into the simplest y=mx+b form

Answer 1

y=-5x/3+26/3

Explanation:

Because we want the equation to look like y=mx+b, rearrange the terms.

Since 26-5x is the same as -5x+26, rewrite it like that.

3y=-5x+26

Now, since we want the value of y, divide by 3 on both sides.

3y/3=y

-5x/3= -5x/3

26/3= 26/3

The simplest form would look like:

y=-5x/3+26/3
