Simplifying

25x + -15 = 2y

Reorder the terms:

-15 + 25x = 2y

Solving

-15 + 25x = 2y

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '15' to each side of the equation.

-15 + 15 + 25x = 15 + 2y

Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0

0 + 25x = 15 + 2y

25x = 15 + 2y

Divide each side by '25'.

x = 0.6 + 0.08y

Simplifying

x = 0.6 + 0.08y
