Chapter 3: Problem 16

Rewrite the equation so that \(y\) is a function of \(x .\) $$3 x+5 y=7$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The equation, with y expressed as a function of x, is y = (7 - 3x)/5

Step by step solution

01

Isolate y

To isolate y, the first step is to move the term involving x to the other side by subtracting 3x from both sides. Doing so, the equation becomes: 5y = 7 - 3x
02

Solve for y

The next step involves further modifying the equation so that y stands alone on one side. To get y, divide both sides of the equation by 5, which gives: y = (7 - 3x)/5
