Question

Having a brain fart... easy problem

Answer 1

I need to solve for y

\[x = \frac{ y + 5 }{ y + 10 }\]

Answer 2

do I want to multiply by (y + 10)?

Answer 3

\[x(y + 10) = y + 5\]

Answer 4

subtract the y and divide by x?

Answer 5

I do not think I would want to do that.

Answer 6

\[\frac{ y+5 }{ y+10}=x \rightarrow xy+10x = y+5 \rightarrow 10x -5 =y+xy \rightarrow 10x-5 = y(x+1) \]

Answer 7

It keeps going can you see it now?

Answer 8

\[y = \frac{ 10x - 5 }{ x + 1}\]

Answer 9

x-1, I think it's good to double check.

Answer 10

gotcha thanks!

Answer 11

it should be 5 - 10x

Answer 12

Yeah, it should factor out nicely

\[\frac{ y+5 }{ y+10 }=x \rightarrow y+5=xy+10x \rightarrow y = (10x-5)/(1-x)\]

Answer 13

Something like that.
