Question

How do I get y equals by itself in the equation 2x+5y=20

Answer 1

Answer:

Subtract 2x to bring it to the other side

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+5y=20

-2x. -2x

5y=-2x+20

Answer 2

Answer: subtract 2x from that side to get 5y= 20-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

You subtract to get 5y = 20-2x. If you want y completely by itself divide it all by 5. 5y divides by 5, 20 divided by 5 and -2x by 5.
