Answer:
[tex]x=\frac{5-8y}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1 Equation is given, so solving for "x" would mean an expression for "x", where
x = SOMETHING
First, we need to isolate x, so we need to take "8y" to the other side, we have:
[tex]2x+8y=5\\2x=5-8y[/tex]
Now, since we don't have "x" isolated yet, we need to take out the 2, so we will divide both sides by 2 to get x isolated. Shown below:
[tex]2x=5-8y\\x=\frac{5-8y}{2}[/tex]
So, x has this expression [tex]x=\frac{5-8y}{2}[/tex]
