Answer:
( 2x - 3 ) / 5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 6 = 5y - 3
2x - 6 + 3 = 5y
2x - 3 = 5y
y = ( 2x - 3 ) / 5
15 pounds each and 16 watermelons= 240 pounds. (15x16=240)
First, let's add all the x's.
x + x + x + x + x = 5x
5x - 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
Now, let's add together all the 1's that are being added (not the 1 that is being subtracted from 5x).
1 + 1 + 1 = 3
5x - 1 + 3
3 - 1 = 2
5x + 2
There's no way you can actually solve this unless you know the value of x; without x's value, this is as simplified as the expression is going to get.
Hope this helps!
When x= -5, y= 34; when y= 64, x = -10
