Question

What is the first step when solving
4x + 10 = 2y for x?

Answer 1

Putting y as 0, if you are finding the x-intercept..

Answer 2

So Basically Elimination:
1st: 2x+3y=-16
2nd: 5x-10y=30
Multiply 1st by 5 and 2nd by 2 to get the following:
1st: 10x+15y=-80
2nd: 10x-20y=60
Now subtract the 2nd from the 1st to eliminate the x's:
35y = -140
y = -4
Substitute that value of "y" into the original 1st

equation to solve for "x":
2x+3(-4)= -16
2x-12 = -16
x = -2
Check this answer of x=-2 and y=-4 in the 2nd original equation:
5(-2)-10(-4)= 30
-10+40 = 30
30 = 30

Answer 3

@babygirlabi start by subtracting 10 from both sides, then divide by 4

lel you copied and pasted that stuff, ldskbgkhbcd

Answer 7

the question was to isolate x no find the x-intercept
