will give medal for answer . ( solve the equation for y ) 2x + 5y=5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

minus 2x from each side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then divide by 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

new equation 5y=-3x +5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=-3/5x+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

First, you need to move the term with x to the right side. Since 2x is being added to 5y, subtract 2x from both sides. Then you'll have 5y = something. Now divide both sides by 5 to get y by itself.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct. In this case, all you need to do is divide both sides by 5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract both sides by 2x and then divide both sides by 5. so your answer would be y= -2/5x
