Question

Solve the equation for y then substitute the value of x into the equation?
-xy+3x=30 x=15

Answer 1

First of all, you add xy both sides to get 3x=30+xy, then you subtract 30 from both sides to get 3x-30=xy,then y=3(x-10)/x, now just plug in the value of x which is 15 in this case.

Answer 2

Where did you get the 10?

Answer 3

3x-30=3(x-10), by taking 3 common.

Answer 4

If you have confusion about that, just take 3x-30. It would give the same answer.
