Question

A solution of the equation 2x + 5y - 3 = 0 is *​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2x + 5y + 3 = 0

Reorder the terms:

3 + 2x + 5y = 0

Solving

3 + 2x + 5y = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.

3 + 2x + -3 + 5y = 0 + -3

Reorder the terms:

3 + -3 + 2x + 5y = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0

0 + 2x + 5y = 0 + -3

2x + 5y = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3

2x + 5y = -3

Add '-5y' to each side of the equation.

2x + 5y + -5y = -3 + -5y

Combine like terms: 5y + -5y = 0

2x + 0 = -3 + -5y

2x = -3 + -5y

Divide each side by '2'.

x = -1.5 + -2.5y

Simplifying

x = -1.5 + -2.5y

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 1.5 - 2.5y , y = 0.6 - 0.4x

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5y - 3 = 0

or, 2x + 5y = 3

or, 2x = 3 - 5y

or, x = 1.5 - 2.5y

Again, 2x + 5y - 3 = 0

or, 2x + 5y = 3

or, 5y = 3 - 2x

or, y = 0.6 - 0.4x
