Question

Maritza says that the number y is equal to 5 less than -5 times x. Which of the following equations could be used to find the value of y?

Answer 1

y= -5x-5

Explanation:

Y is equal to 5 less than -5 times x, which means it is 5 less than -5x.

If y is 5 less than -5x, that means it is equal to -5x-5.

If you were to put that in an equation, it would be y= -5x-5
