Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 3x + 5y = 60 \) for \( y \), we need to isolate \( y \).

1. Start with the original equation: \[ 3x + 5y = 60 \]

2. Subtract \( 3x \) from both sides: \[ 5y = 60 - 3x \]

3. Now, divide both sides by 5: \[ y = \frac{60 - 3x}{5} \]

4. Simplify the right side: \[ y = 12 - \frac{3}{5}x \]

So, the final answer is: \[ y = 12 - \frac{3}{5}x \]

This can also be rearranged to express \( y \) in terms of \( x \) more clearly.

Therefore, the correct response from your options based on this solution is: \[ y \text{ is equal to } -\frac{3}{5}x + 12 \]
