Question

whaats x+y=5? it says looking for y terms in terms of x?

Answer 1

when it says find y in terms of x it means solve for y.

Answer 2

how do you find it?

Answer 3

you need to get y by itself so you subtract x from both sides.

Answer 4

so then it would be y=5-x?

Answer 5

yep, but you want to turn that into y=-x+5 by switching -x and 5 around, because x usually comes first in an answer. You got it right, though.

Answer 6

okay so whats after that ? :)

Answer 7

nothing. That is your answer. You know y is equal to -x+5, so you solved for y in terms of x.

Answer 8

you turn it into
y = -x + 5
and your done if you solving for y

Answer 9

okay thanks:)
