5x+2y=5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if solving for X= x=1−2y/5 if solving for y=y=5/2−5x/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is just simple solving an equation by subtracting

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 5x from both sides then divide by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then divide by 2. its really easy :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x and y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your welcome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ive got some of it but not all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (dannyrod2000):

ok with what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can help you buddy one second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im stuck on this problem that states: 5x+2y=5 y=5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the directions say: solve each system by subtraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To find the Y-intercept, we must set X equal to 0. Our equation is thus: 5(0) + 2(Y) = 5 => 2(Y) = 5 Dividing each side by 2 we get: Y = 5/2 This is the intercept.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ive got the rest from here thanks
