Solve for y in terms of x. $- 5 x - 3 y = - 7$
A) $y = \frac { 7 - 5 x } { 3 }$
B) $y = \frac { 7 - 9 x } { 3 }$
C) $y = \frac { 7 + 5 x } { 3 }$
D) $y = \frac { 7 - 5 x } { 4 }$
E) $y = \frac { 9 - 5 x } { 3 }$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve for y, we want to get y on one side of the equation by itself. First, we can add 5x to both sides to get:
$$-3y = 5x - 7$$
Next, we can divide both sides by -3 to isolate y:
$$y = \frac{7 - 5x}{3}$$
Therefore, the correct answer is choice A.

Solve for Y in Terms of X −5x−3y=−7- 5 x - 3 y = - 7−5x−3y=−7

Solve for Y in Terms of X $- 5 x - 3 y = - 7$
