Hey there!
2(x - 3) / y = 5
2(x - 3) / 5 = 5
2(x) + 2(-3) / 5 = 5
(2x - 6) 5 = 5
MULTPLY 5 to BOTH SIDES
(2x - 6)/5 * 5 = 5 * 5
SIMPLIFY IT!
2x - 6 = 5 * 5
2x - 6 = 25
ADD 6 to BOTH SIDES
2x - 6 + 6 = 25 + 6
SIMPLIFY IT!
2x = 25 + 6
2x = 31
DIVIDE 2 to BOTH SIDES
2x/2 = 31/2
SIMPLIFY IT!
x = 31/2
x = 15 1/2
Therefore, the answer should be:
x = 15 1/2
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Answer:
y = -1/5x +32/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope intercept form of the equation of a line is
y = mx+b
we know m = -1/5
y = -1/5x+b
We know a x and y on the line
7 = -1/5(-3) +b
7 = 3/5 +b
Subtract 3/5 from each side
35/5 -3/5 = b
32/5 =b
So the equation is
y = -1/5x +32/5
To evaluate this expression, we need to remember that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number, and that adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number. Using this knowledge, let's begin to simplify the expression below:
-1 - 3 - (-9) + (-5)
Because addition of a negative number is the same as subtraction of a positive number, we can change + (-5) to -5, as shown below:
-1 - 3 - (-9) - 5
Next, because we know that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number, we can change - (-9) to + 9, as shown below:
-1 - 3 + 9 - 5
Now, we can subtract the first two terms and begin to evaluate our expression:
-4 + 9 - 5
Next, we can add the first two numbers of the expression:
5 - 5
Now, we can subtract our last two numbers, which gives us our answer:
0
Therefore, your answer is 0.
Hope this helps!
