Answer:

B) x = (-3/5)y + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

first, subtract 3y from btoh sides:

5x + 3y (-3y) = 15 (-3y)

5x = -3y + 15

Next, divide 5 from both sides:

(5x)/5 = (-3y +15)/5

x = (-3/5)y + 3

B) x = (-3/5)y + 3 is your answer.

Which system of equations below has infinitely many solutions?

Zolol [24]

Answer:

The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+2y =10 and y= -x +5

These are not in the same form so thats the first step

2x+2y=10

we minus 2x from both side which turns into

2y=-2x+10 (the variable always comes first)

Secon step is to divide 2 from the y to everything so 2y divided by 2 = y

-2 divided by 2 is -x and 2 divided by 10 is 5 and now you have the same equations which leads to infinite

y=-x+5
