To manipulate the equation y = 5x - 11 to solve for x, we need to isolate the x term on one side of the equation.
Starting with y = 5x - 11:
Add 11 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -11: y + 11 = 5x.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 5: (y + 11)/5 = x.
Therefore, the equivalent equation for y = 5x - 11 in terms of x is x = (y + 11)/5.
The correct answer is:
B. x = (y + 11)/5
Manipulate the equation y=5x-11 so that it is written in terms of x. Which equation is equivalent to y=5x-11?
A. x = (y/11) -5
B. x = y+11/5
C. x = y-11/5
D. x = (y/5) + 11
