Question

Write y = 1/6x + 5 in standard form using integers.

A. –x – 6y = 30

B. 6x – y = 30

C. –x + 6y = 30

D. –x + 6y = 5

A, B, C, or D? Explain, please.

Answer 1

Multiply 6 on both sides of y = 1/6x + 5 .

Answer 2

So multiply 1/6 and 5?

Answer 3

no, multiply 6. to each term
6*y=?
6(1/6) x =?
6*5=?

Answer 4

Okay, and how would I multiply 6(1/6)?

Answer 5

how do u think ? just give it a try ...

Answer 6

6*y= I have no idea because y is a letter.. Lol perhaps some help on that bit?

I think I might have to switth 1/6 to a decimal in order to multiply it in this situation, so I'm gonna go with .16, and .16*6=.96..

And 6*5 = 30

Answer 7

switch*

Answer 8

OMG!
6*(1/6) = 6/6 = 1.
so u have
6y=x+30
subtract x from both sides, what u get ?

Answer 9

How do I subtract x from both sides?

Answer 10

-x+6y = x-x +30
what is x-x = ?

Answer 11

I am unsure.

Answer 12

what is 1-1=?

Answer 13

0

Answer 14

so x-x=0
finally, u have -x+6y=30
got this ?

Answer 15

Yes, I think so. Thank you.

Answer 16

welcome ^_^

Answer 17

just so you know...the decimal of 1/6 is 0.17 not 0.16

Answer 18
