Question

−3x+6y+5=−7 how do i solve this

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can simplify this, but not "solve" it.  Subtracting 5 from both sides yields

-3x + 6y = -2.

You could graph this easily by finding the x- and y-intercepts.  To find the x-intercept, set y = 0:  -3x + 6(0) = -2.  Then x = 2/3 and the x-intercept is (2/3, 0).

To find the y-intercept, set x = 0:  -3(0) + 6y = -2, or y = -1/3 => (0, -1/3)

Plot these two intercepts and draw a line through them.
