Question

In the equation y = 2(x + 5), if x is increased by 3, then y is increased by

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = \frac{y}{2}- 5$

$x = \frac{1}{2} y - 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$1. \: \frac{y}{2} = x + 5 \\ 2. \: \frac{y}{2} - 5 = x \\ 3. \: x = \frac{y}{2} - 5 \\ \\ or \\ \\ 1. \: 2x + 10 = y \\ 2. \: 2x = y - 10 \\ 3. \: \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{y - 10}{2} \\ x = \frac{1}{2} y - 5$
