How do you solve for y in #2y+3x-15=5y#?

Answer 1

Julia Adams

The solution is #y=x-5#.

Turn the formula around.

#5y=2y+3x-15#

Subtract #2y# from both sides.

#3y=3x-15#

Each side is divided by three.

#(cancel(3)y)/(cancel(3))=(cancel(3)x)/(cancel3)-(15)/(3)#

#y=x-(15)/(3)=5#

#y=x-5#

To solve for y in the equation 2y + 3x - 15 = 5y, first, subtract 2y from both sides to isolate the variable y. This gives you 3x - 15 = 3y. Then, divide both sides by 3 to solve for y. So, y = (3x - 15) / 3. Simplifying further, y = x - 5. Therefore, the solution for y in the equation is y = x - 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.
