Answer:

y = -3 when -5x - 3y = 14


y = -3 when -5x - 3y = 14\\\\-5x-3(3) = 14\\-5x-9=14\\-5x-9+9=14+9\\-5x=23\\(-5x)/(-5) = (23)/(-5) \\x= -(23)/(5) or -4.6 or -4(3)/(5)

Answer:

Explanation:

We are given the equation -5x - 3y = 14 and we want to find the value of y when x is not given but we are given the value of y as -3.

We can substitute y = -3 in the given equation and solve for x as follows:

-5x - 3y = 14

-5x - 3(-3) = 14 (Substituting y = -3)

-5x + 9 = 14

-5x = 14 - 9

-5x = 5

x = -1

Therefore, when y = -3 and -5x - 3y = 14, we get x = -1.
