Answer:

x+y=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

y-x=4

x=3y

y-3y=4

x=3y

-2y=4

x=3y

y=4/(-2)

x=3y

y=-2

x=3*(-2)

x=-6, y=-2 then

x+y=-6-2=-8

Which equation shows y+1/5=3x in standard form?
zhannawk [14.2K]
I believe the correct answer is 15x + 5y =-1 but im not positive cause i did the problem and got -1 but the equation i got looks different i got the equation -15x + 5y = -1
These are the steps i followed
You always begin by the Given equation, which is in this case:
y+ = 3x
To remove the fraction, you multiply the whole equation by 5:
5y + 1 = 15x
Then, you move the "15x" the left-side of the equation, changing it's sign
-15x + 5y +1 = 0
You move the "1" to the right side, changing it's sign
-15x + 5y = -1
