Question

$$5x+3y=8$$

Solve for x

$x=\frac{8-3y}{5}$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $3y$ from both sides.

$$5x=8-3y$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{8-3y}{5}$$

Dividing by $5$ undoes the multiplication by $5$.

$$x=\frac{8-3y}{5}$$

Show Solution

Solve for y

$y=\frac{8-5x}{3}$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $5x$ from both sides.

$$3y=8-5x$$

Divide both sides by $3$.

$$\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{8-5x}{3}$$

Dividing by $3$ undoes the multiplication by $3$.

$$y=\frac{8-5x}{3}$$
