Question

5x-6y=-8 solve the equation

Answer 1

Answer:

Solved for y:  $y = 4/3 + 5/6x$

Solved for x:  $x = 6/5y - 8/5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for y

Step 1:  Subtract 5x from both sides

$5x - 6y - 5x = -8 - 5x$

$-6y = -8 - 5x$

Step 2:  Divide both sides by -6

$-6y / -6 = (-8 - 5x) / -6$

$y = 4/3 + 5/6x$

Solving for x

Step 3:  Add 6y to both sides

$5x - 6y + 6y = -8 + 6y$

$5x = 6y - 8$

Step 4:  Divide both sides by 5

$5x / 5 = (6y - 8) / 5$

$x = 6/5y - 8/5$
