Question

Solve for x, in terms of y: 2 3 x + 1 5 y = 2

Answer 1

(2/3)x - (1/5) y = 10. to solve for x in terms of y: (2/3)x - (1/5) y = 10. (2/3)x = 10 + (1/5)y. x = (10 + (1/5)y)(3/2). x = 15 + 3/10 y. if y = 0; x = 15. to solve for y in terms ...

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = 3 - 3/10y

Explanation:

2/3 x + 1/5 y =2

Solve for x

Subtract 1/5 y from each side

2/3 x + 1/5 y -1/5y =2-1/5 y

2/3 x = 2 -1/5y

Multiply each side by 3/2 to isolate x

3/2 * 2/3x = 3/2(2- 1/5y)

Distribute

x = 3/2 *2 - 3/2 * 1/5y

x = 3 - 3/10y
