My questin is If r=5z then 15z=3y, then r=
I just can't seem to determine how to set this problem up. I tried subsutition but that doesn't work for me either? Thanks in advance
I assume you want to define r in terms of y.
If r = 5z, then 3r = 15z.
Therefore, 3r = 3y.
I'm sure you can take it from there. I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
To set up this problem, you can follow these steps:
1. Start with the given equation: r = 5z.
2. Substitute the value of r into the second equation: 3r = 15z. Substitute 5z for r: 3(5z) = 15z.
3. Simplify the equation: 15z = 3y.
4. To find the value of r, we want to isolate it on one side of the equation. Divide both sides of the equation by 3, resulting in: (15z)/3 = (3y)/3.
5. Simplify the equation further: 5z = y.
Therefore, the value of r in terms of y is r = 5z.
