A. x = 10 + 8y
B. x = 5 - 16y
C. x = 5 + 8y
D. x = 5 + 16y Solve the equation for x: 2x - 16y = 10.

B. x = 5 - 16y
C. x = 5 + 8y
D. x = 5 + 16y @Mathematics

Answer 1

ok this is how you do this

2x-16y=10

+16y on both side to isolate the x

2x=10 + 16y

now divide everything by 2 isolate the x to just have x

x=(10+16y)/2

this also means

x=(10)/2 + 16y/2

which can be simplified to

x=5 + 8y

therefore C
