Question

Solve for y if: x=2 y=5x+3

Answer 1

Solve for y, if x = 2

y = 5x + 3

Simply plug in "2" for "x" in our given equation :)

y = 5(2) + 3

Simplify.

y = 10 + 3

Simplify.

y = 13

To check our work, simply plug in 13 for y in the original equation, as well as plugging in 2 for x.

y = 5x + 3

13 = 5(2) + 3

Simplify.

13 = 10 + 3

Simplify.

13 = 13

Therefore, y = 13

~Hope I helped!~

Answer 2

Substitute in x = 2:

y = 5(2) + 3

y = 10 + 3

y = 13
