x+2y=5 solve for y

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

first step subtract from both sides x so and will get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2y = x-5

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

not is right so i have said that subtract from both sides x x-x+2y=5-x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2y = - x + 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so and now for you can getting the y what you need doing for ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

/2 /2 y = -1/2x + 5/2 (-.5x + 2.5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get tht but its not in the right format

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok but how you need get it right ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

y=(-x+5)/2 so is it now ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

or there is again an equation and with this will be there a system with two equations with two unknown x and y how is it correct ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thts the correct format

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok than is right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
