Question

Solve the equation 5x + 7y = 35 for y.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. $y= 5 - \frac{5}{7} x$

Step-by-step explanation:

okay, so you are trying to get y alone on one side. The first thing you want to do is try to get 7y alone on one side. You do that my subtracting 5x on both sides. You get 7y = 5x +35

Then you divide 7 on both sides and get y = -5/7x + 5

Answer 2

Answer:

D. y = -5/7x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 7y = 35

-5x          -5x

7y =  35 - 5x

/7      /7    /7

y = 35/7 - 5/7 x

y = 5 - 5/7x
