Can someone help me solve this please??? I need to solve for y!!! -5x+3y=-9
Try to get the y term on one side of the equals sign, and have the x term, and the constant on the other side of the equals sign.
\[y=-3+\left(\begin{matrix}5 \\ 3\end{matrix}\right)x\]
you always want to isolate the variable you want to solve for, in this case its y. so you want to move the -5x to the other side turning it onto 3y= -9 +5x. the you want to divide each of those terms by three to isolate the y and you have your answer
so is it y= -5/3x-3
the 5/3 is positive
because it was the 5x was negaztive on one side when you move it over it turns positive, then when you divide by three its just 5/3
no?
no the answer was wrong I think the answer was y=3/5x-3
-5x+3y=-9 ===> y= (5/3)x -3
@desibaybee , your answer is incorrect.
-5x+3y=-9 /3 /3 /3 ----------- -5/3x +y = -3 +5/3x +5/3x ---------------- y = (5/3)x -3
