Interactive practice questions

Consider the equation $\frac{3x}{5}-1=2$3x51=2.

a

Solve for the value of $x$x that satisfies the equation.

b

To verify the solution graphically, which two straight lines would need to be graphed?

$y=\frac{3x}{5}$y=3x5

A

$y=\frac{3x}{5}+1$y=3x5+1

B

$y=2$y=2

C

$y=\frac{3x}{5}-1$y=3x51

D
c

Graph the lines $y=\frac{3x}{5}-1$y=3x51 and $y=2$y=2 on the same plane.
