To solve the equation for y, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation.
Starting with the equation:
y + 3x = 5
We can subtract 3x from both sides of the equation to isolate y:
y = 5 - 3x
Now we can substitute the given values of x and solve for y.
For x = -1:
y = 5 - 3(-1)
y = 5 + 3
y = 8
For x = 0:
y = 5 - 3(0)
y = 5 + 0
y = 5
For x = 2:
y = 5 - 3(2)
y = 5 - 6
y = -1
Therefore, for the given values of x, the corresponding values of y are:
When x = -1, y = 8
When x = 0, y = 5
When x = 2, y = -1
solve the equation for y. then find the value of y for each value of x.
y+3x=5;x= -1,0,2
