What is the input when the output is 12 in the equation \(y = 5x - 8\)?

Asked by Anonymous

Answer (3)

the input is 4 because 5x4=20 and 20-8=12 how do you solve for x?

write the equation y=5x-8 2) substitute 12 for y 12=5x-8
Add 8 to each side 20=5x
divide each side by 5 x=4

The input value (x) is 4 when the output (y) is 12 in the equation y = 5x - 8. This is found by substituting y with 12 and solving for x. Therefore, the input x that makes the equation true is 4.
