Math Problem Statement

Solve the equation for y. Then find the value of y for each value of x. y plus 7 xequals10​; xequalsnegative 1​, 0​, 4

Solution

We are given the equation y+7x=10y + 7x = 10. First, let's solve for yy in terms of xx.

Step 1: Solve the equation for yy

y+7x=10y + 7x = 10 Subtract 7x7x from both sides: y=107xy = 10 - 7x

Step 2: Find yy for each given value of xx

  • When x=1x = -1: y=107(1)=10+7=17y = 10 - 7(-1) = 10 + 7 = 17

  • When x=0x = 0: y=107(0)=10y = 10 - 7(0) = 10

  • When x=4x = 4: y=107(4)=1028=18y = 10 - 7(4) = 10 - 28 = -18

Final values of yy:

  • For x=1x = -1, y=17y = 17
  • For x=0x = 0, y=10y = 10
  • For x=4x = 4, y=18y = -18

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. What happens to yy as xx increases?
  2. Can you graph the equation y=107xy = 10 - 7x?
  3. How do you find the intercepts of the equation?
  4. What is the slope of the line represented by y=107xy = 10 - 7x?
  5. What is the effect of changing the constant on the right side of the equation?

Tip: The slope in a linear equation represents how much yy changes for every unit increase in xx.
