Answer 2

Answer:

$x = \frac{1}{5}y + 2$     or       $x = \frac{y+10}{5}$     (Not sure which one is preferred in your case)

Step-by-step explanation:

Key skills needed: Evaluating expressions

1) We are given: $y = 5x-10$

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

--> $y + 10 = 5x$ (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.

-----> $\frac{y+10}{5} = x$

4) You can keep it as is so --> $x = \frac{y + 10}{5}$

or you can divide "y" by 5 and "10" by 5 and get --> $x = \frac{1}{5} y + 2$

(I am not sure which form is preferred one is preferred as the teacher matters)

Hope you understood and have a nice day!!
