Question

Y-3=2(x+1)
Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation.
(-1, )

Answer 1

y=3 if x=-1

Explanation:

First, plug in -1 for x then add inside parentheses and distribute:

y-3=2(-1+1)

y-3=2(0)

y-3=0

Next, add 3 to both sides of the equation to get the answer for y:

y-3=0

y+3=+3

y=3

Final answer:

(-1, 3)
