Question

-2x+8y=11 solve for x

Answer 1

Subtract the term with the y from both sides. Divide by the coefficient of x to get x alone.

Answer 2

i got 2x=11-8y

Answer 3

It should be -2x=11-8y. Don't miss that negative sign in front of the 2. :)

Now divide both sides by -2 to get that x alone.

Answer 4

x=11-6y

Answer 5

i got x=11-6y

Answer 6

No. You have to divide both terms on the right by -2. And make sure you're dividing, not subtracting.

Answer 7

So now i got x=11-4y

Answer 8

OHHHH you divide everything by -2

Answer 9

You're not dividing both terms by -2.
