Problem 63
Question
Multiply both sides of \(x-5 y=3\) by \(-4\) and simplify.
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The simplified equation is \(-4x + 20y = -12\).
1Step 1: Multiplication of Left Side
Start with the left side of the equation, \(x-5y\). Multiply every term on the left side by \(-4\). Doing this results in \(-4*x + 4*5y\). This simplifies to \(-4x + 20y\).
2Step 2: Multiplication of Right Side
Next, multiply the right side of the equation, 3, by -4. This simply results in \(-12\).
3Step 3: Combination of Both Sides
Finally, combine the simplified left and right sides to write the new equation, which is \(-4x + 20y = -12\).
