Question

For the equation 3x - 5y = -3, what is the value ofy when x is 1?
6/5
-6/5
5/6

Answer 1

Greetings,

I hope that you and your family are doing well during this pandemic. Here is how to solve the equation:

3x - 5y = -3

What's the value for y when x = 1

So, We need to start by replacing x with 1

3(1) - 5y = -3

Now we solve it. 3 - 5y = -3

-5y = -3 - 3

-5y = -6

y = 6/5

Thus, the correct answer is 6/5

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have additional questions. As always, it is my pleasure!

Answer 2

y = 6/5

Explanation:

3x - 5y = -3

Let x =1

3(1) - 5y = -3

3-5y = -3

Subtract 3 from each side

3-3-5y = -3-3

-5y = -6

Divide each side by -5

-5y/-5 = -6/-5

y = 6/5
