Question 9 Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4 - 5/2 y

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5y = 8.

Subtract 5x from each side

2x + 5y -5y = 8-5y

2x = 8 -5y

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = (8-5y)/2

x = 4 - 5/2 y

Answer 2

Answer:

x=$\frac{-5y}{2}$+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're given the equation 2x+5y=8 and we want to solve it for x

as we don't know the value of y, x won't actually be a number (it'll be an expression instead). However, we will solve this as if it was a regular equation by isolating x onto one side

here's the given equation

2x+5y=8

start by subtracting 5y from both sides

2x=-5y+8

divide both sides by 2

x=$\frac{-5y}{2}$+4

Hope this helps!
