Question

I need help with this question, can someone explain how to do it.
5x-8y=2x+10

Answer 1

Answer:

y= (-3x+10)/8

Explanation:
5x-8y=2x+10
Your main goal is normally to isolate the y.
1) Subtract 5x from both sides
-8y=2x+10-5x
2) Combine like terms
-8y=-3x+10
3) Divide by -8 on both sides
y= (-3x+10)/8
That’s it! Let me know if you have any questions
