Question 9 • WV-Algebra I CR

What is the value of y in the equation 5x + 2y = 20, when x = 0.3?

Answer
A
2.5
B
2.8
C
9.25
D
10.75

Explanation

Substitute x = 0.3 into the equation: 5(0.3) + 2y = 20. Since 5(0.3) = 1.5, subtract 1.5 from 20 to get 2y = 18.5, then divide by 2 to find y = 9.25. The correct choice is 9.25.
