Given:
x - 2y = 5
Solve for x:
x = 5 + 2y
Given :
2x - y = 6
Replace x with the value we found above:
2(5 + 2y) - y = 6
10 + 4y - y = 6
3y = -4
y = -4/3
Now take one of our original equations, and plug in that value of y to get x:
x - 2(-4/3) = 5
x = 5 - 8/3
x = 7/3
Now check if we're right:
x - 5 = 2y
7/3 - 15/3 = 2(-4/3)
-8/3 = -8/3
So that is the answer. x = 7/3 and y = -4/3.

How do you solve 8 plus x2y?
i don't get that if it is 2xy +8 or 8 + 2xy then you can't solve or simplify it any further if it were 8 x 2y then you time the 8 by the 2 to get 16y
Solve the equation y' plus x2y equals x2?

Find dyoverdx by implicit differentiation xy2 minus x2y equals 3xy?
Whooop!
What is 4xy plus x3y plus yx2 plus yx plus 3yx simplified?
4xy + x3y + yx2 + yx + 3yx = x3y + x2y + 8xy = (xy)(x2y + x + 8)
How do you factor 3x3-x2y plus 12x-4y?
3x3 - x2y + 12x - 4y = x2*(3x - y) + 4*(3x - y) = (x2 + 4)*(3x - y)

What is -2y plus x2y-8?
It is -2y + x2y - 8, which is an expression that cannot be simplified further, not can it be evaluated.
If I know that x2y plus 4 and I plug that into 3y plus 5x what do I get?
You will get nonsense. You cannot plug x2y + 4 into anything!
What is 4x squared y plus 3x squared y?
4 (apples) plus 3 (apples) = 7 (apples). 4 (cows) + 3 (cows) = 7 (cows) 4 (x2y) + 3 (x2y) = 7 (x2y)
Square root of 2xy times 14x3y?
Do the multiplication, then take the square root. After the multiplication, you get 28x4y2. The square root of 28 is 2 times the root of 7, the square root of x4 is x2, and the root of y2 is y. So, the final result is 2 times square root of 7, times x2y.
A number y varies inversely as the square of x If y equals 2 when x equals 6 what is y when x equals 3?
x2y = k (constant) so 36 x 2 ie 72 is the constant. If x = 3 then y = 72/9 = 8
