y=−35x+12
y is equal to negative 3 fifths x plus 12
y=60−3x
y is equal to 60 minus 3 x
y=57x5
y is equal to 57 x over 5
y=60+3x5
The correct answer is:
y = -3/5x + 12
To solve the equation 3x + 5y = 60 for y, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Move the term with x to the other side of the equation.
Subtract 3x from both sides:
5y = 60 - 3x
Step 2: Solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by 5.
Divide both sides by 5:
y = (60 - 3x) / 5
Therefore, the equation is y = (60 - 3x) / 5.
