You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = –5x – 11: (___, –86)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "we need to find x when y = -86
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write it:
\n" ); document.write( "-5x - 11 = -86
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "5x + 11 = 86; multiplied by -1 to get rid of all those negatives
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 86 - 11; subtracted 11 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 75
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"75%2F5\";divide both sides by 5
\n" ); document.write( "x = +15
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in original equation
\n" ); document.write( "y = -5(15) - 11
\n" ); document.write( "y = -75 - 11
\n" ); document.write( "y = -86 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
