Y=2 3rds x-3 find y if x is 5

y =

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = x - 3 ← substitute x = 5

y = × 5 - 3

  = - 3

  = - =

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
