Mathematics

Answer: y = -5

Substitute in 3 for x.
x - y = 8                            Substitution
3 - y = 8                            Subtract 3 from both sides
-y = 5                                Divide by -1 to both sides
y = -5                                Answer!

You can also check your work.
x - y = 8       
3 - (-5) = 8                  
3 + 5 = 8                        
8 = 8

What is the solution for x in the equation -4x+5x-7=10+3x-2x
jarptica [38.1K]
You combined the x’s together then u wanna move all the x’s to one side then after that you would want to do the opposite of -7, so then you add 7 to 10 and then you would divide everything by 2 and get x=8.5

Is (6,-10) a solution of y=3x-8
Vitek1552 [10]
You can easily test this if you know that (6, -10) corresponds to (X, Y). Knowing this, you can: 

X = 6
Y = -10

you put this into your equation:

-10 = 3*6 - 8

calculate it:

-10 = 18 - 8
-10 = 10
This is not true of course, -10 is not equal to 10. Therefore, (6, -10) is not a solution of y = 3x-8 :)
