Answer:

$y=\frac{-1}{4} x+3\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(y-5)=\frac{-1}{4} (x--8)\\(y-5)=\frac{-1}{4} (x+8)\\y=\frac{-1}{4} x-\frac{8}{4}+5 \\y=\frac{-1}{4} x-2+5\\y=\frac{-1}{4} x+3\\$

step by step on how to solve this equation by firstly collecting like terms; 7-5y = 3y-17

gtnhenbr [62]

Hello!

You can solve this algebraically

7 - 5y = 3y - 17

Add 5y to both sides

7 = 8y - 17

Add 17 to both sides

24 = 8y

Divide both sides by 8

3 = y

The answer is 3

Hope this helps!
