Answer:

Hey there!

2x-5y=10

Add 5y on both sides to get: 2x=10+5y

Divide by 2, not 2x. This will isolate the x.

x=5+2.5y

x=2.5y+5

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

x = 5 + 5y/2

Step-by-step explanation:

When you get to 2x = 10 + 5y,

you should divide both sides with 2 only instead of 2x. Because if you divide 2x on both sides, the left side would only remain 1 (since 2x/2x = 1)

2x = 10 + 5y

x = (10 + 5y) / 2

x = 10/2 + 5y/2

x = 5 + 5y/2 .( or 5 + (5/2)y)

What equation do I need to use?

To ease your problem, consider "L" as you x-axis
Then the coordinate become:
A(- 4 , 3) and B(1 , 2) [you notice that just the y's changed]

This is a reflection problem.
Reflect point B across the river line "L" to get B', symmetric of B about L.
The coordinates of B'(1 , -1) [remember L is our new x-axis]
JOIN A to B' . AB' intersect L, say in H
We have to find the shortest way such that AH + HB = shortest.
But HB = HB' (symmetry about L) , then I can write instead of
AH + HB →→ AH + HB'. This is the shortest since the shortest distance between 2 points is the straight line and H is the point requiered
