Question

The coefficient ofthe variable y in the linear equation 5(2x - y) + 3x + 4y - 7 = 0 is

Answer 1

Answer:

-1 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

On reducing the equation, we get:

10x - 5y + 3x + 4y - 7 = 0

⇒ 10x + 3x - 5y + 4y - 7 = 0

⇒ 13x - y - 7 = 0.

So, the coefficient of y in the above equation becomes -1.
