Question

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

Is there another equation with it?

anonymous · Answer

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

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?

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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