Which value is a solution of the equation 5 – 4x = –3

0
2
-3
1/4

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation y = 4x
(1, 3)
(–1, –4)
(–4, –1)
(1, –4)

Answer 1

@sangya21 hey girl can you help with this

Answer 2

5-4x = -3
5+3 = 4x
solve for x

Put each coordinate in equation to check which one satisfies the equation

Answer 3

omg ty you're a life saver bless you

Answer 4

Anytime.

Answer 5

@sangya21 you started out fine
what if the choices were not given?

first isolate the variable to one side of the equation
divide by the coefficient of the variable to make it 1
whatever you do to one side of the equation also do to the other to keep the balance

here 5 + 3 = 4x
4 x = 8
divide each side by 4
x = 2

Answer 6

@sangya21 sorry-- I read "to solve for x " not realizing that you just didn't finish and the rest was for the second question.

Answer 7

x equals 2
