Question

Manipulate the equation y=5x-11 so that it is written in term of x. Which equation is equivalent y=5x-11

Answer 1

To write the equation in terms of x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation and move all other terms to the other side.

Starting with the equation y = 5x - 11, we'll move the -11 to the other side:

y + 11 = 5x

Now, we'll divide both sides by 5 to isolate x:

(y + 11) / 5 = x

Therefore, the equation equivalent to y = 5x - 11 in terms of x is x = (y + 11) / 5.
