Fill in the missing reasons (one for each step). Given: 3x – 6y = 27; x = 5 Prove: -2 = y

a. 3x – 6y = 27; x = 5 / substitution?

b. 15 – 6y = 27 / subtraction?

c. -6y = 12 / division?

d. y = -2 / reflextive?

e. -2 = y / symmetric ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a. Given,

b. Substitution

c. Subtraction of equality

d. Division of equality

e. Symmetric property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression,

[tex]3x - 6y = 27; x = 5[/tex]

By substituting x = 5,

[tex]3(5) - 6y = 27[/tex]

[tex]15 - 6y = 27[/tex]

By subtraction property of equality,

[tex]-6y = 12[/tex]

Division property of equality,

[tex]y = -2[/tex]

By symmetric property of equality,

[tex]-2 = y[/tex]
