Question

$$5x-2=8,x=$$

Solve for x, y

$y=2$

Solution Steps

Consider the first equation. Add $2$ to both sides.

$$5x=8+2$$

Add $8$ and $2$ to get $10$.

$$5x=10$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$x=\frac{10}{5}$$

Divide $10$ by $5$ to get $2$.

$$x=2$$

Consider the second equation. Insert the known values of variables into the equation.

$$y=2$$

The system is now solved.

$$x=2$$ $$y=2$$
