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

Hi there! Hopefully this helps!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5(0.3) + 2y = 20

| 5(0.3) + 2y = 20

| Multiply 5 and 0.3 to get 1.5

\/

1.5 + 2y = 20

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We subtract 1.5 from both sides.

2y = 20 - 1.5

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Subtract 1.5 from 20 to get 18.5.

2y = 18.5

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Divide both sides by 2.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Expand = 9.25 by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reduce the fraction to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

in decimal form.

answer: y = -12x + 108

step-by-step explanation: do (y = m x+b) formula.

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
