Answer:

The answer is y=-15

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the number, we have to express the problem into an equation. Every time that we want to know a value of a variable, we have to express an equation that it contains the variable.

Let's express every part of the statement:

Three fifths=\frac{3}{5}

A number= y

negative 9= -9

Putting together every part into an equation:

\frac{3}{5}y=-9\\y=\frac{5}{3}*(-9)\\y=5*(-3)\\y=-15

Finally, the value of the number "y" is -15.

\frac{3}{5}y=-9 \ |*5 \\\\ 3y=-45 \ |:3\\\\ y=-15
or
\frac{3}{5}y=-9 \\\\ 0,6y=-9 \ |*10\\\\ 6y=-90 \ |:6\\\\ y=-15

Write the equation in slope-intercept form.<br> 5x +<br> 5y = 35
vekshin1

Answer:

y = -x + 7

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Equality Properties

  • Multiplication Property of Equality
  • Division Property of Equality
  • Addition Property of Equality
  • Subtract Property of Equality

<u>Algebra I</u>

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

  • m - slope
  • b - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Standard Form]   5x + 5y = 35

<u>Step 2: Rewrite</u>

<em>Find slope-intercept form.</em>

  1. Subtract 5x on both sides:                    5y = -5x + 35
  2. Divide 5 on both sides:                         y = -x + 7
