Change the equation from standard form to slope-intercept form by solving for y.
11x−8y=−48
Bob's work:
−8y=−59x
y=7.375
Bill's work:
−8y=−11x−48
y=118x+6
Bud's work:
−8y=−11x−48
y=−11x+6
Who solved for y correctly?

are you sure
I'm sorry for the mistake in my previous response. It looks like Bud solved for y correctly:
Bud:
−8y=−11x−48
Dividing both sides of the equation by -8 gives:
y = -11/8x - 6
Therefore, the correct answer is Bud.
Bud solved for y correctly.
To solve the equation 11x - 8y = -48 for y and convert it to slope-intercept form, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation.
Bob's work:
Bob incorrectly wrote -8y = -59x. This seems like a calculation error.
Bill's work:
Bill incorrectly wrote -8y = -11x - 48. This is not the correct equation.
Bud's work:
Bud correctly wrote -8y = -11x - 48. To finish solving for y, Bud needs to divide both sides of the equation by -8, which yields y = (-11/-8)x + 6 or y = (11/8)x + 6. Thus, Bud's work is correct.
Therefore, the correct answer is Bud.
