What is the value of y if x = -3?
y = 1 = 2(x-5)
Plug in -3 for x, in the equation for y, and see what you get.
I think you copied the problem wrong. Is the first = sign supposed to be a + or - sign? If not, you have already stated that y = 1. That cannot be true when x = -3.
I agree with drwls. It has to be a coping error. Ask this question again and look at the problem and I will be glad to answer it.
I apologize for any confusion caused. It seems there might have been a mistake in the given equation. Let me clarify the situation:
The original equation is: y = 1 + 2(x-5)
However, since you mentioned that y = 1, we can substitute this value into the equation to find the value of x:
1 = 1 + 2(x-5)
To solve for x, we need to isolate it. First, simplify the equation:
0 = 2(x-5)
Now divide both sides by 2:
0/2 = (x-5)
0 = x - 5
To isolate x, add 5 to both sides:
0 + 5 = x - 5 + 5
5 = x
Therefore, if y = 1, the value of x should be 5.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist with.
