Answer:

x=23.5 + -0.5y

Explanation:

Simplifying

2x + y = 47

Solving

2x + y = 47

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1y' to each side of the equation.

2x + y + -1y = 47 + -1y

Combine like terms: y + -1y = 0

2x + 0 = 47 + -1y

2x = 47 + -1y

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 23.5 + -0.5y

Simplifying

x = 23.5 + -0.5y
