Fill in the missing reasons (one for each step). given: 3x – 6y = 27; x = 5 prove: -2 = y

a. 3x – 6y = 27; x = 5 / substitution?

b. 15 – 6y = 27 / subtraction?

c. -6y = 12 / division?

d. y = -2 / reflextive?

e. -2 = y / symmetric ?

a. Given,

b. Substitution

c. Subtraction of equality

d. Division of equality

e. Symmetric property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression,

By substituting x = 5,

By subtraction property of equality,

Division property of equality,

By symmetric property of equality,

answer: yes, since the line has a steeper rate of change than the exponential the y-values will be greater and they will only intersect one time.
