What is the solution of 5x - 7y equals 5?
5x - 7y = 5 (subtract both sides by 5x) -7y = -5x + 5 (divide both sides by -7) y = (5x - 5)/7 If you want to solve for y = 0, then x = 1.
How do you solve 4x -8 equals 5x?
4x - 8 = 5x 1) Add 8 to both sides. 4x - 8 (+ 8) = 5x (+ 8) Becomes 4x = 5x + 8 2) Subtrate 5x from both sides. 4x (- 5x) = 8 Becomes -1x = 8 Reduced to -x = 8 3) Multiply both sides by -1. Becomes x = -8
What does x equal 5x plus 4 equals 3x-2?
5x + 4 = 3x - 2Subtract 4 from both sides:5x = 3x - 6Subtract 2x from both sides:2x = 6Divide both sides by 2:x = -3
What is the answer to 5x plus 3 equals 6x plus 1?
5x + 3 = 6x + 1 Subtract 5x from both sides: 3 = x + 1 Subtract 1 from both sides: 2 = x
How do you solve 2x equals 5x-12?
2x = 5x - 12First step is to move all the like terms to one side of the equation2x (-5x) = -12-3x = -12Next, we can divide both sides by -3 to get rid of the -3 on the left side(-3x)/-3 = (-12)/-3x = 4
