if you solve that for "y", what does it look like?
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
can you put your eq in slope-intercept form please?
OpenStudy (1dfanatic):
5y=-3x+6?
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
so how do you move that 5 to the other side?
OpenStudy (1dfanatic):
subtract it?

you also dropped your negative signs
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
so let's take a step back
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
how do you get -3x to the other side?
OpenStudy (1dfanatic):
add it?
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
ok and what does that give you?

Like the the equation or the answer?
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
when you add 3x to both sides, what is the result?
OpenStudy (1dfanatic):
-3x-8y=9?
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
uhm... where did that come from?
OpenStudy (1dfanatic):
idk im confused tbh..

ok, so let's try it this way. you have \[-3x - 5y = 6\] when we add 3x to both sides it looks like this before simplifying \[3x-3x - 5y = 6+3x\]
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
what is 3x-3x?
OpenStudy (1dfanatic):
0
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
so what does the eq above simplify to?
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
what's the next step?

OpenStudy (1dfanatic):
divide by 6?
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
I just want the simplification
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
what do you write after 3x−3x−5y=6+3x
