I answered the question 3x-y=5 but is there a different way to answer this?

My answer:

I switched the y with the 3x
3x=y+5

Then I subtracted by 5

y=3x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

I agree with what you did. You could also add y on both sides and get 3x = y + 5 and then divided by three to get...

x = 5 + y /3

(the 5 and y are being divided by 3)

But that's just complicated, it works, but it's complicated. What you did is correct and what I gave you is the value of x, but I'm 100 percent sure yours is correct.

Hope this helps

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Yes (technically),  there is a different way to answer the equation 3x - y = 5. But, the first part of how you described it is a bit off.

Here is how you would explain it:

What you would do is Add y to both sides, then subtract 5 from both sides.

3x = y + 5

3x - 5 = y (aka y  = 3x - 5)

The other way to solve:

3x - y = 5

Subtract 3x from both sides.

-y = -3x + 5

Now divide both sides by -1.

-1(-y) = -1(-3x + 5)

y = 3x - 5

If you want to solve for x, you would:

Add y to both sides of the equation.

3x = 5 + y

Then divide each side by 3.

x = [tex]\frac{1}{3}y[/tex] + [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
