Question

Find three solutions to linear equation. y= 5x-8

Answer 1

From the problem, we have a linear equation :

$y=5x-8$

To find three solutions, we need to substitute three values of x.

$\begin{gathered} \text{when x = 0} \\ y=5(0)-8 \\ y=-8 \\ \\ \text{when x = 1} \\ y=5(1)-8 \\ y=-3 \\ \\ \text{when x = 2} \\ y=5(2)-8 \\ y=2 \end{gathered}$

ANSWER :

The solutions are (0, -8), (1, -3) and (2, 2)
