Question

Complete the solution of the equation. Find the

value of y when x equals -6.
8x – 5y = -33

Answer 1

(-3)

Explanation:

(-48) - 5y = -33

(-48) - (-33) = (-15)

(-15) / 5 = (-3)

(-48) - 5(-3) = -33

Answer 2

the value of y is -3

Explanation:

x = -6

sub -6 to the equation

8(-6) - 5y = -33

-48 - 5y = -33

-5y = -33 + 48

-5y = 15 (divide both sides by negative 5)

y = -3
