Solve the following equation for x: 2x + 5y = 8. x = five halvesy + 4 x = negative five halvesy − 4 x = five halvesy − 4 x = negative five halvesy + 4

x = negative five halves y + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve an equation of two variables x and y  for x.

So, the solution of x will be in terms of y.

The equation is 2x + 5y = 8

⇒ 2x = 8 - 5y

⇒

⇒

Therefore, the solution is x = negative five halves y + 4 (Answer)
