Question

Express y in terms of x. Then find the value of y when x= -16 (x - y) =19Y in terms of x:Y=

Answer 1

let's find y in terms of x:

$\begin{gathered} 6(x-y)=19 \\ x-y=\frac{19}{6} \\ y=x-\frac{19}{6} \end{gathered}$

Therefore:

$y=x-\frac{19}{6}$

If x=-1, then:

$\begin{gathered} y=-1-\frac{19}{6} \\ =-\frac{25}{6} \end{gathered}$

Then, y=-25/6
