How do you solve for x #5x + y = 3 #?

Answer 1

Genesis Allen

Starting with #5x+y=3#, first subtract #y# from both sides to get:

#5x=3-y#

Then divide both sides by #5# to get:

#x = (3-y)/5#

or, if you'd rather:

#x = 3/5-1/5y#

To solve for ( x ) in the equation ( 5x + y = 3 ), you need to isolate ( x ). You can do this by subtracting ( y ) from both sides of the equation to get ( 5x = 3 - y ), and then dividing both sides by 5 to get ( x = \frac{3 - y}{5} ).

Answer 3

To solve for (x) in the equation (5x + y = 3), rearrange the equation to isolate (x):

[5x = 3 - y]

[x = \frac{3 - y}{5}]

So, (x) can be solved as (x = \frac{3 - y}{5}).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
