5y = 3x - 15
so 5y=0+15
@supie
Are we solving for x or y?

Ok so the first step is to combine the like terms \(5y=(0+15)\) equals what?
solve what's inside the parenthesis
15
Yes so \(5y=15\) so you know the next step?
then divide both sides by 5 and y=3
Yes y=3
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @supie Yes y=3 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) thxs
because 15/5=3
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @b3lla2025 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @supie Yes y=3 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) thxs \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) np
so do I do this for all my math problems that I need to find y for
@supie
Well sometimes there is an extra step(s)
(y + 5) = 2/3(x - 7) how do you find the slope for this
\((y + 5) = 2/3(x - 7)\longrightarrow 2x-3y=29\)
So then just find the slope from that (y=mx+b) find m
so 3=2x+29
....no- you have to find m the slope (y=mx+b)
I'm confused
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @supie ....no- you have to find m the slope (y=mx+b) \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) sorry
m=-3/5
I dont think so-
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @supie I dont think so- \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) (y + 5) = 2/3(x - 7) what is the point? @supie
@Laylalyssa
help @supie
What do you need help with?
