Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The rule to know and follow is:
You can add, subtract, multiply or divide by anything so long as the same thing is done to both sides of the equals sign;
5a + b = 14
If we want to get: "a = ...", then we use the rule to isolate the variable a on one side of the equation;
Firstly, we subtract b from both sides:
5a + b - b = 14 - b
5a = 14 - b
Then, divide both sides by 5:
Answer:
or
(Not sure which one is preferred in your case)
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Key skills needed: Evaluating expressions</u>
1) We are given:
2) To solve for the x variable, we want to leave the term with "x" by itself.
This means we add 10 to both sides
--> (Since -10 and +10 cancel out to make 0 or nothing)
3) Then we divide by 5 on both sides to get "x" completely by itself.

4) You can keep it as is so -->
or you can divide "y" by 5 and "10" by 5 and get -->
