Question

When x+2 = 1/5y is written in standard form, what is the value or B

Answer 1

Answer:

B=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is Ax+By=C.

In this case, Ax is x, By is 1/5y, and C is +2.

To isolate the 2 (the C), subtract x from both sides of the equation:

x+2=1/5y

-x     -x

2=-x+1/5y.

Now, the value of B, the x value, is -1.
