Question

Solve the following equation for x: 5x + 3y = 15.

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y = 15

5x = -3y +15

x = -3/5y +3

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is B) x = negative three fifths y + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

5x + 3y = 15

We need to solve the above equation for x.

Subtract both the side by 3y.

$5x + 3y-3y = 15-3y$

$5x= 15-3y$

To find the value of y, isolate the variable y:

Divide both the sides by 5.

$\frac{5x}{5}= \frac{15}{5}-\frac{3y}{5}$

$x= 3-\frac{3y}{5}$

$x= -\frac{3y}{5}+3$

Hence, the correct option is B) x = negative three fifths y + 3
