​

Whats x and y to
8x+5y=24

Answer 1

The value of x and y for the given linear equation is
`x=3-(5)/(8)y` and
`y=(24-8x)/(5)`

Explanation:

Given equation is
`8x+5y=24`

The above equation is of the form linear equation

The linear equation can be written
`ax+by=c` where c is a constant

To find the values of x and y

`8x+5y=24`

`8x=24-5y`

`x=(24-5y)/(8)`

`(24)/(8)-(5)/(8)y`

Therefore
`x=3-(5)/(8)y`

Similarly
`8x+5y=24`

`5y=(24-8x)/(5)`

Therefore
`x=3-(5)/(8)y` and
`y=(24-8x)/(5)`
