Question

How can you solve x-8y=40?

Answer 1

$Simplifying x + -8y = 40 Solving x + -8y = 40 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '8y' to each side of the equation. x + -8y + 8y = 40 + 8y Combine like terms: -8y + 8y = 0 x + 0 = 40 + 8y x = 40 + 8y Simplifying x = 40 + 8y$

Answer 2

The answer would be forced to be x=8y+40 if that question is stated correctly.

did you mean x on both or is one x and one y?
