How to solve y = 2alpha + 5

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$y=2\alpha+5$$

Solve for α

$\alpha =\frac{y-5}{2}$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$2\alpha +5=y$$

Subtract $5$ from both sides.

$$2\alpha =y-5$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$\frac{2\alpha }{2}=\frac{y-5}{2}$$

Dividing by $2$ undoes the multiplication by $2$.

$$\alpha =\frac{y-5}{2}$$
