Question

Write the equation in the standard linear equation form (Ax+By=C) if possible. Is the equation linear? y/3+x=5

Answer 1

Answer:

3x + y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

y/3 + x = 5

You can first move the x and y variable around so it fits the standard linear equation format.

x + y/3 = 5

In order to make it look more like the standard format, you can multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to get rid of the 3 in the denominator of the y variable.  It would look like this:

3 ( x +y/3) = 3 ( 5 )

When you multiply this out, you get this:

3x + y = 15
