What is this math equation ;9-x/5 =3 for x

1 answer:

6 0

The variable x has had the following done to it:
• multiply by -1/5
• add 9

We want to "undo" these operations in reverse order.
• undo "add 9" by "add opposite of 9"
.. -x/5 = -6 . . . . . . . -9 added to both sides of the equation

• undo "multiply by -1/5" by "multiply by -5". We choose -5 because it is the multiplicative inverse of -1/5. That is (-1/5)*(-5) = 1.
.. 1x = (-5)*(-6)
.. x = 30

Graph the linear equation.find three points that solve the equation,then plot on the graph -3x++2y=11

Katarina [22]

$-3x+2y=11\qquad\text{add 3x to both sides}\\\\2y=3x+11\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\y=\dfrac{3}{2}x+\dfrac{11}{2}\\\\for\ x=1\to y=\dfrac{3}{2}(1)+\dfrac{11}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}+\dfrac{11}{2}=\dfrac{14}{2}=7\to(1,\ 7)\\\\for\ x=-3\to y=\dfrac{3}{2}(-3)+\dfrac{11}{2}=-\dfrac{9}{2}+\dfrac{11}{2}=\dfrac{2}{2}=1\to(-3,\ 1)\\\\for\ x=-5\to y=\dfrac{3}{2}(-5)+\dfrac{11}{2}=-\dfrac{15}{2}+\dfrac{11}{2}=-\dfrac{4}{2}=-2\to(-5,\ -2)$
