Question

2x + 5y + 30 = 0 The point ( 5 2 , y) is a solution to the equation shown. What is the value of y? A) -7 B) -5 C) 0 D) 5

Answer 1

2x + 5y + 30 = 0

2(52) + 5y + 30 = 0

104 + 5y + 30 = 0

134 + 5y = 0

         5y = -134

            y = $-\frac{134}{5}$

Neither A, B, C, or D are the the correct answer.  Did you mistype the problem?
