Question

solve for x:
7x+2y=5

Answer 1

subtract 2y from both sides
7x = 5 - 2y
divide both sides by 7
x = (5-2y)7

does that help?

Answer 2

that should be x = (5-2y)/7

Answer 3

I think so

Answer 4

@ashna it's solve for x

Answer 5

I am totally confused now

Answer 6

@rannsan just follow what i said above

Answer 7

7x+2y=5
Subtract the 2y on both sides


7x=-2y+5
Now divided both sides of the equation by 7
x=(-2/7)y+5/7

Answer 8

x=(-2/7)y+5/7 ?

Answer 9

I still am not following

Answer 10

Let us go step by step:

Subtract 2y both the sides first..

Can you do this @rannsan

Answer 11

trying, this is my first algebra class and it has totally confused me

Answer 12

See I give you similar example:

Suppose we have:

5x+4y=10


Now subtract 4y both the sides:



Now to find x we must get rid of 5 attached to it so divide by 5 both the sides:
