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. y-11/5
D. x=(y/5)+11

double check your answer and explain

1 answer

The equation y=5x-11 can be manipulated to solve for x by isolating it on one side of the equation.

First, let's add 11 to both sides of the equation to move the constant term (-11) to the other side:

y + 11 = 5x

Then, we divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for x:

(x) = (y + 11)/5

Therefore, the equation equivalent to y=5x-11 in terms of x is:

x = (y + 11)/5

So, option B. x = (y + 11)/5 is the correct answer.
