put this solution on YOUR website!1/4y+3=-5x
Subtract 3 from both sides to get:
(1/4)y = -5x - 3
Multiply both sides by 4 to get:
y = 4*(-5x-3)
This becomes:
y = -20x - 12
Your answer was:
y = -5x/1/4-3/1/4
which I think was meant to be:
y = -5x/(1/4) - 3/(1/4)
1/(1/4) is the same as 1*4 so your answer is the same as mine.
Your answer becomes:
y = -5x / (1/4) - 3 / (1/4) which becomes:
y = -5x * 4 - 3 * 4 which becomes:
y = -20x - 12
I usually multiply to clear the fraction.
Makes solving the problem a little easier for me.
Either way gets the right answer.
