It is 3/5
Hope this helps:)
Answer:
subtract a constant from both sides
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step in solving an equation like this is to get the coefficients and variables by themselves, and to do that, you must separate the coefficients (numbers being multiplied by a variable) from the constant (numbers not being multiplied by a variable). You do this by subtracting the constant from both sides of the equation to ensure that they are equal (you subtract -10 from both sides here (adding 10 to both sides)).
Answer: The solution is (3, -2)
This means that x = 3 and y = -2 pair up together.
=====================================================
Explanation:
The solution is where the two lines cross. Note if we started at the origin (0,0) and moved to the right 3 units, and then down 2 units, we would arrive at the location (3, -2).
-----------------
As a way to check, we can plug x = 3 into each equation. We should get y = -2 as a result for each equation
y = (-5/3)x + 3
y = (-5/3)*3 + 3
y = -5+3
y = -2
The first equation is confirmed. Let's check the second equation
y = (1/3)x - 3
y = (1/3)*3 - 3
y = 1 - 3
y = -2
Both equations have the y value equal -2 when x = 3. Therefore, the overall solution is confirmed.
