Question

-X + 5Y = 10

Answer 1

what do you want to find?

Answer 2

SOLVE FOR Y

Answer 3

so, you want y alone on one side of the equation.

Answer 4

YES PLEASE

Answer 5

add x to both sides

Answer 6

so, you x+-x+5y=10

Answer 7

10+x

Answer 8

sry.

Answer 9

then divide equation by 5.

Answer 10

5y/5=(10+x)/5

Answer 11

and there you go.

Answer 12

SO WOULD THAT BE Y = 2 + X?

Answer 13

no, Y=2+x/5

Answer 14

-x + 5y = 10 (add x to both sides)
-x + x + 5y = 10 + x
5y = 10 + x
y = 10/5 + x/5
y = 2 + x/5.....I am not sure about this...it looks weird ???

Answer 15

MY TEACHER SAYS IT SHOULD ANSWER Y = 1/5X +2 I AM CONFUSED WHERE THE 1/5 COMES FROM

Answer 16

oh...I got it.....x/5 =1/5x because the x has a 1 in front of it.

Answer 17

the same as if it were x/3.....x/3 = 1/3x. That is just an example

Answer 18

GOT IT. JUST A LITTLE CONFUSED, BUT I HAVE IT NOW. THANKS

Answer 19
