Question

Solve the equation for y. Then find the value of y for each value of x.

y + 5x = 8; x = - 2, 0,3
Solve the equation for y.

Answer 1

y = 8 - 5x, y(-2) = 18, y(0) = 8, y(3) = -7

Explanation:

y + 5x = 8

y = 8 - 5x

y(-2) = 8 - 5*(-2) = 8 + 10 = 18

y(0) = 8 - 5*(0) = 8 - 0 = 8

y(3) = 8 - 5*(3) = 8 - 15 = -7
