You are given either the x value or the y value.
Replace the x or y in the equation and solve for the missing values.
-4x + 5y = 3
First you are given x = 0:
So you have -4(0) + 5y = 3
Simplify:
0 + 5y = 3
Divide both sides by 5:
y = 3/5
Next you have x = 1:
-4(1) + 5y = 3
Simplify:
-4 + 5y = 3
Add 4 to both sides:
5y = 7
Divide both sides by 5:
y = 7/5
Third you are given y = 3
-4x + 5(3) = 3
Simplify:
-4x +15 = 3
Subtract 15 from both sides:
-4x = -12
Divide both sides by -4:
x = 3
