Question

Given that 3x - 5y = 2Find x when y = 8​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x - 5y = 2 ← substitute y = 8 into the equation

3x - 5(8) = 2

3x - 40 = 2 ( add 40 to both sides )

3x = 42 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 14

Answer 2

Answer:

x=14

Step-by-step explanation:

If the y=8 then plug it in the equation:

3x-5(8)=2

It will be:

3x-40=2

3x=42

x=14
