Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Since the "y" variable is inside a root, we need to square both sides of the equation to open the root and solve for y.

When squaring both sides, we get;


\implies √(2x + y - 3z) = 5


\implies(√(2x + y - 3z))^(2) = 5^(2)


\implies2x + y - 3z = 25

Now, simply isolate the y-variable to determine its value. This can be done by subtracting 2x on both sides of the equation.


\implies2x + y - 3z = 25


\implies2x + y - 3z - 2x = 25 - 2x


\implies y - 3z = 25 - 2x

Now, add 3z both sides of the equation to further isolate the y-variable.


\implies y - 3z + 3z = 25 - 2x + 3z


\implies y = 25 - 2x + 3z

Therefore, Option A is correct.

Answer:

A. y=-2x+3z+25

Explanation:

Isolate the term of x and y from one side of the equation.

To solve:

  • The value of y.


\Longrightarrow: \sf{√(2x+y-3z)=5}

2x+y-3z=25

First, you have to subtract by 2x-3z from both sides.


\Longrightarrow: \sf{2x+y-3z-\left(2x-3z\right)=25-\left(2x-3z\right)}}

Solve.


\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{y=25-2x+3z}}}

  • Therefore, the correct answer is "A. y=-2x+3z+25".

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.
