Question

Write three solutions for the equation -5x + 8y = 16.

Answer 1

Answer:

Simplifying

5x + 8y = 16

Solving

5x + 8y = 16

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-8y' to each side of the equation.

5x + 8y + -8y = 16 + -8y

Combine like terms: 8y + -8y = 0

5x + 0 = 16 + -8y

5x = 16 + -8y

Divide each side by '5'.

x = 3.2 + -1.6y

Simplifying

x = 3.2 + -1.6y
