Question

i need to solve for x...7x+2y=5

Answer 1

to solve for two unknowns you need two equations

Answer 2

that is the only equation I was given!

Answer 3

no other conditions or hints ?
7x+2y = 5 and solve for x
then there are infinite values for x by which eqn can be satisfied ,by assuming values for y

Answer 4

all it says it's solve for x.

Answer 5

It's been about 12 years since I've taken math, and it was never a subject of my choice, so I am having some difficulties witht this right now.

Answer 6

something's missing.

Answer 7

I think maybe they are just asking you to rearrange ?

Answer 8

if so, all x's to one side , everything else to the other, what do you get.
