Question

2x + y = -5 how do I solve this

Answer 1

Answer:

if you are solving for x the answer is -5/2 and for y answer is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

2x + y = -5
2x + y + 5 = - 5 + 5
2x + y + 5 = 0

^ These are the steps and the answer in implicit form.


2x + y + 5
y = - 5 - 2x
y = - 2x - 5

^ These are the steps and answer written in Slope intercept form.


2x + y = -5
2x + 0 = -5
2x = -5
*Divide Borge sides by 2
x = -5/2 or -2.5

^ These are the steps and the answer written to find the x- intercept/zero.


2x + y = -5
2 * 0 + y = -5
y = -5

^ These are the steps/answer written to find the y-intercept.
