Question

Solve for y
x + 5y = 5

Answer 1

subtract x from both sides
—————————
that gets you to , 5y=-x+5
—————————
divide 5 from both sides and you get, y= -1/5x+1

Answer 2

y = -1/5 x +1

Explanation:

x + 5y = 5

Subtract x from each side

x-x + 5y = 5-x

5y = 5-x

Divide each side by 5

5y/5 = -x/5 +5/5

y = -1/5 x +1
