Question

Solve x − 5y = 6 for x.

A) x = −5y + 6
B)x = −5y − 6
C) x = 5y + 6
D) x = 5y −6

Answer 1

x = 5y + 6

Explanation:

Add 5y to both sides

x - 5y + 5y = 5y + 6 (variable always goes first)

-5y + 5y = 0

x = 5y + 6

Answer 2

The correct option is C) x = 5y + 6.

Explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

`x - 5y = 6`

We need to solve the equation for x.

Add 5y to both sides of the equation.

`x - 5y+5y = 6+5y`

Simplify the equation.

x=6+5y

Hence, the value of the equation for x is x=6+5y.

Therefore, the correct option is C) x = 5y + 6.
