Math Problem Statement

3y=10x-5

Solution

The equation 3y=10x53y = 10x - 5 can be rewritten in different forms to make it easier to work with. Below are some options:

1. Solve for yy (Slope-Intercept Form):

Divide through by 3 to isolate yy:

y=103x53y = \frac{10}{3}x - \frac{5}{3}

This is the slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b, where:

  • Slope (mm) = 103\frac{10}{3}
  • Y-intercept (bb) = 53-\frac{5}{3}

2. Solve for xx:

Rearrange to isolate xx:

x=3y+510x = \frac{3y + 5}{10}

3. Express in Standard Form (Ax + By = C):

Reorganize terms into standard form:

10x+3y=5-10x + 3y = -5

or

10x3y=510x - 3y = 5

This is useful for graphing or substitution in systems of equations.
