Question

Here is my problem

Complete the table of ordered pairs for the equation 5x-3y=12

Need to find the 3 of ordered pairs for y plus I need 3 points . I already have the answer for x which is -3 , 3,and 6

Answer 1

In order to find the 3 y-values to correspond to the given 3 x-values, you must plug each x-value into the equation in place of x and then solve for y. For example, let's suppose x=-1 was a 4th x-value given to you. To find the corresponding y-value we would do the following:

1. Substitute -1 for x in the equation:

5(-1) - 3y = 12

1. Then simplify 5(-1):

-5 - 3y = 12

1. Use inverse operations to add 5 across the equation:

-5 - 3y = 12

+5 +5

-------------

-3y = 17

1. Divide both sides by -3 to finish solving for y:

-3y = 17

--- ---

-3 -3

y = - 17/3

1. We now have the y-coordinate being -17/3
2. So the ordered pair is (-1, -17/3)

Similar (nearly identical) work will give you the three y-coordinates for your given x-values.
