Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation and rewrite the remaining values.

y= 3x−5
y= −5+3x
3x − 5
=
−5 + 3x
−
3x
−
3x

1 answer

To subtract \(3x\) from both sides of the equation, we'll start with the given equation:

  1. Start with:

\[ y = 3x - 5 \]

  1. Subtract \(3x\) from both sides:

\[ y - 3x = 3x - 5 - 3x \]

  1. This simplifies to:

\[ y - 3x = -5 \]

So, when you subtract \(3x\) from both sides of the equation \(y = 3x - 5\), the equation becomes:

\[ y - 3x = -5 \]

This is the rewritten version after performing the subtraction.
