Question

Solve the equation for x: 2x-16y=10 please explain? Thank you. (:

Answer 1

My guess is y=32 and x=......Nevermind :P

Answer 2

Is there another equation with it?

Answer 3

so first of all you can divide straight across by 2

x+8y=5

so add 8y to both sides
x-8y+8y=5+8y
x=5+8y

Answer 4

Hi Welcome to Openstudy! @Christina_212 @DanZander @CynfulBaddie @TRavi14

Are you looking for the x-intercept? or as @TRavi14 asked, do you have any other equations?

Answer 5

@CynfulBaddie I do not think you did it correctly. If it is done like that you must subtract 8y from both sides not add.

Answer 6

2x - 16y = 10
Add 16y to both sides
2x - 16y + 16y = 16y + 10
2x = 16y + 10
Divide everything by 2
x = 8y+5

Answer 7

Yes!
