Question

Find the value of y .

(Either leave your answer as a fraction, or round to the nearest hundredth.)

Answer 1

y=5/3 or y=1.67

Explanation:

In this problem we have that

(5x+8)=21x ----> given problem

21x-5x=8

16x=8

x=0.5

In the same way

Remember that the slope of a line is a constant

so

20y-2=17y+3

Solve for y

20y-17y=3+2

3y=5

y=5/3 or y=1.67
