Answer:

x= y-2/5

Explanation:

y=5x+2

y + (-2) = (5x+2) + (-2)

y-2=5x+2-2

and then you get your answer

And by the way after you wrote for the answer y-2 it needs to be the fraction sigh and then under neath write 5

Answer:

x =
(y-2)/(5)

Explanation:

Given

y = 5x + 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

y - 2 = 5x ( divide both sides by 5 )


(y-2)/(5) = x
