Question

Use the two given functions to write y as a function of x.
y = -3a + 3, a = -5x + 1

Answer 1

Explanation:

To write y as a function of x using the given functions, we can substitute the value of "a" in the first equation with the expression "-5x + 1" from the second equation.

Given:

y = -3a + 3

a = -5x + 1

Substituting the value of "a" in the first equation:

y = -3(-5x + 1) + 3

Now, let's simplify this expression:

y = 15x - 3 + 3

y = 15x

Therefore, y can be expressed as a function of x as:

y = 15x
