Question

Solve the equation for y and then find the value of y for the given x-value .
5x+y=10
x=-2
y= ?

Answer 1

Okay so if x=-2 you would have to plug it into your equation that is given. 5(-2)+y=10

Answer 2

ahemm... can it be done that way? yes
were those the instructions? no

Answer 3

Then you will have to multiply the numbers together 5(-2)=-10.

Answer 4

What do you mean? @jdoe0001

Answer 5

\(\bf {\color{blue}{ \textit{Solve the equation for y}}} {\color{red}{ \textit{ and then} }} \)find the value of y for the given x-value .

Answer 6

Well I was just showing the easier way of doing it but I do know that way

Answer 7

do u know the answer @Softballstar201

Answer 8

Okay so 5(-2) = -10 then the equation would be y-10=10

Answer 9

okay so the answer is -2 @Softballstar201

Answer 10

Then you would simplify on both sides making it y= 10+10 which would make it y=20

Answer 11

No it wouldn't be -2 because the 5(-2) is 5x. You gave me x so I plugged in -2 for x

Answer 12

The answer is y=20 @mamas

Answer 13

oh thanks can you help me with more ? @Softballstar201

Answer 14

Sure I have time

Answer 15

ok give me one sec and ill tag u @Softballstar201

Answer 16

Alright

Answer 17

Could have been easier if you just added 10 to both sides :/
