Question

What is the answer to this problem? I have been stuck on it forever! 2x - 5y = 57

Answer 1

Solve for x:

x = 2.5y + 28.5

Solve for y:

y = 0.4x + 11.4

Explanation:

If solving for x:

`2x-5y=57`

Add 5y to both sides

`2x=5y+57`

Divide by 2

`x=2.5y+28.5`

If solving for y:

`2x-5y=57`

Add 2x to both sides

`5y=2x+57`

Divide by 5

`y=0.4x+11.4`
