Answer:

$x = \frac{y}{3} - \frac{5}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y = 5 + 3x$

Required

Solve for x

Subtract 5 from both sides

$y-5 = 5 -5+ 3x$

$y-5 = 3x$

Divide through by 3

$\frac{y}{3} - \frac{5}{3} = x$

$x = \frac{y}{3} - \frac{5}{3}$

sattari [20]

Answer: $300

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Calvin earned $\$2400$

He spent $\frac{3}{8}$ on food i.e.

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{8}\times 2400=\$900$

$\dfrac{1}{3}\quad \text{on taxes i.e.}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{3}\times 2400=\$800$

$\dfrac{1}{6}\ \text{on other expenses i.e.}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{6}\times 2400=\$400$

Remaining money = $2400-900-800-400=\$300$

So, he saved $300 after expenses
