y=5x-2z

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

what are we doing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solving for x

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

well first get x by itself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y+2z=5x

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

There you go, now divide everything by 5 and that gives you x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does that equal?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

divide it

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

come on Kate....you can do this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i Don't know though, thats why I asked, I don't know how to divide that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y+2z = 5x becomes\[\frac{ y+2z }{ 5}=x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you divide both sides of the equation by 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's your answer if all you had to do is solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats all?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
