Question

Solve this equation: 110 = 9x + 5y Help please!!!❤️

Answer 1

We can't find explicit values for $x$ and $y$, since there is only one equation, but two variables.

The best we can do is solve for one variable with respect to the other:

Solve for $x$:

subtract $5y$ from both sides:

$110-5y = 9x$

divide both sides by $9$:

$\frac{110-5y}{9} = x$

Solve for $y$:

subtract $9x$ from both sides:

$110-9x = 5y$

divide both sides by $5$:

$\frac{110-9x}{5} = y$
