Question

For 2x - 3y = -7, when x = 4, What is the value of y?

Answer 1

2(4) - 3y = -7
-3y = -7 - 8
-3y = 15
-3y/3 = 15/-3
y = -5

Answer 2

2x - 3y = -7
2(4) - 3y = -7
8 - 3y = -7
-3y = 1
y = -3

Answer 3

@crackdope You have to ADD 8 to both sides not SUBTRACT because 8 is POSITIVE NOT NEGATIVE.

Answer 4

the answer is 5 guys

Answer 5

and becuase 8 is positive you would subtract it from both sides to get rid of it, so that is why it is SUBTRACT, not add

Answer 6

2x- 3y= -7
2(4) - 3y= -7
8- 3y= -7
-8 -8
-------------
-3y= -7-8
-3y= - 15
---- -----
-3 -3
y= -15/-3
y=5
