The equation that represents x when solved is [tex]x=\frac{y-8}{1.5}[/tex]
Given the equation that expresses the weight of a chimpanzee with respect to the months of birth as:
y = 1.5x + 8
We are to express x in terms of "y"
[tex]y = 1.5x + 8[/tex]
Subtract 8 from both sides
[tex]y -8= 1.5x + 8-8\\y-8 = 1.5x\\Swap\\1.5x = y - 8[/tex]
Divide both sides by 1.5
[tex]\frac{1.x}{1.5}= \frac{y-8}{1.5} \\x=\frac{y-8}{1.5} \\[/tex]
Hence the equation that represents x when solved is [tex]x=\frac{y-8}{1.5}[/tex]
