Y = 2bx
divide both sides by 2b
Y/2b = x
y=5-x

Are you sure the directions don't have "solve the equation as x=___ and y=___"
solve for y so if x + y = 0 then y = -x
x + 1= -y implies x - y = 1
y=x+4
y=5-x
x=4 y=x+3 y=4+3 y=7
y=7+x =x=7-x

You should write the question out as z= (y/x). To solve this, you would multiple x to the other side to get y alone. Then you would multiply z to the other side. z= (y/x) Given xz= y x= y/z
solve for y so if x + y = 0 then y = -x
If x equals the square root of ...., then you already have solved for x
x + 1= -y implies x - y = 1
x+y=5
