5x - 3y = 7
First, Add 3y to both sides
5x - 3y + 3y = 7 + 3y
5x = 3y + 7
Then, Divide both sides by 5
[tex]\frac{5x}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3y + 7}{5}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{3}{5} y[/tex] + [tex]\frac{7}{5}[/tex] (Answer to #1)
-3x - 3x - 5 = 23
First, we will simplify both sides of the equation
-3x + -3x + -5 = 23
Next, We will combine like terms
(-3x + -3x) + (-5) = 23
-6x + -5 = 23
-6x - 5 =23
Then, we will Add 5 to both sides
[tex]\frac{-6x}{-6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{28}{-6}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{-14}{3}[/tex] (Answer to #2)
