Question

Solve the following equation for y, simplifying all fractions: 6x + 10y = - 80 a) y = 3 X - 8 5 3 X 8 b) y alw c) y -x + 8 w л | о л | d) y = x – 8

Answer 1

Solving a linear equation with 2 variables

First isolate y term

10 y = -6x - 80

Now divide by 10

y = (-6/10)x -(80/10)

y = (-3/5)x - 8
