Question

Can someone help me solve this?
-4(2-y)+5x=6(x-y)

Answer 1

Use the distributive property.
-4(2-y) + 5x = 6(x-y)
-8 + 4y + 5x = 6x -6y
4y + 5x = 6x - 6y - 8
10y - x = -8

Answer 2

for x
-x = -10y - 8
x = 10y + 8

for y
10y = x -8
y = x/10 - 4/5

Answer 3

But I thought you cant have x/10 so how would I solve it on from 10y-x=-8

Answer 4

@Shrina why do you think we can't have x/10 ??

Answer 5

he has explained very well

Answer 6

because when you plug it in the equation, it doesn't make sense

Answer 7

in which equation you are plugging the value of x??
