Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve for x.
x−5y=3x+1
Step 1: Add -3x to both sides.
x−5y+−3x=3x+1+−3x
−2x−5y=1
Step 2: Add 5y to both sides.
−2x−5y+5y=1+5y
−2x=5y+1
Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.
−2x/ −2 = 5y+1/ −2
x= −5/ 2 y+ −1/ 2
Answer:
x= −5/ 2 y+ −1/ 2
x - 5y = 3x + 1
5y = 2x + 1
y = 2x + 1 / 5
x - 5(2x+1/5) = 2x + 1
x - 2x + 5 = 2x + 1
x + 5 = 2x + 1
4 = x
So lets double check:
4 - 5y = 3(4) + 1
4 - 5y = 12 + 1
4 - 5y = 13
-5y = 9
y = -9/5
4 - 5(-9/5) = 13
4 -(-9) = 13
4 + 9 = 13
13 = 13
This means we are right! X = 4
I hope this helps! :)
