Question

The equation y/3 * x + 11/3 = - 4/3 is solved as follows. Fill in the correct numbers to complete the solution. (1 point)

Answer 1

To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable y.
First, let's subtract 11/3 from both sides of the equation:
y/3 * x + 11/3 - 11/3 = -4/3 - 11/3

Simplifying, we have:
y/3 * x = -15/3

Next, let's multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to get rid of the fraction:
3 * (y/3 * x) = 3 * (-15/3)

Simplifying, we have:
y * x = -15

Finally, to solve for y, we divide both sides of the equation by x:
(y * x)/x = -15/x

Simplifying, we have:
y = -15/x

So, the correct numbers to complete the solution are -15 and x.
