Question

find the value of x when y=14. y= -6x+5

Answer 1

Answer:

  x = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unknown value, substitute all known values and solve for the one remaining. After substitution, this becomes a 2-step linear equation, so is solved by the procedure for such equations.

  y = -6x +5 . . . . . given

  14 = -6x +5 . . . . substitute known value

  9 = -6x . . . . . . . subtract 5 (step 1)

  9/-6 = x = -3/2 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x (step 2);

Answer 2

Hello!

In order to find the value of x, we should take the value of y and plug it in and then simplify.

$\bold{y=-6x+5}$

Plug in:

$\bold{14=-6x+5}$

Switch places:

$\bold{-6x+5=14}$

Now, subtract 5 from both sides:

$\bold{-6x=14-5}$

$\bold{-6x=9}$

Divide both sides by -6 in order to isolate x:

$\bold{x=-\displaystyle\frac{9}{6}}$

Can this fraction be reduced? Sure, we can divide the numerator (9) and the denominator (6) by 3:

$\bold{-\displaystyle\frac{3}{2}}$

As a Mixed Fraction:

$\bold{1\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}}$

Hence, the value of x is:

$\huge\boxed{\boxed{\mathfrak{\star{Answer:{\boxed{-\frac{3}{2} }}}}}}$

Hope everything is clear.
