OpenStudy (hba):

What do you get lynn ? Show me your working ?

hero (hero):

Somebody should just show her how to do it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i multiplied both sides by 5..

OpenStudy (hba):

You subract 4 from both sides first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 4 from y?

hero (hero):

You can multiply both sides by 5 if you wanted to.

hero (hero):

You still end up with the same result

OpenStudy (hba):

@Hero Show her the solution.

hero (hero):

Well if she multiplied both sides by 5 first, she would have 5y = -3x + 20 After that, all she has to do is simply add 3x to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sooo 5y=23x ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ik thats wrong..

OpenStudy (hba):

Thats wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should i keep the x from the 3x?

OpenStudy (hba):

5y=-3x+20 Take -3x across the = sign it becomes +3x and if we take 20 acorss = sign it becomes -20 Understood now perform this step :)
