Question

Solve the equation for y.
23 = 5x – 2y​

Answer 1

23 = 5x – 2y

move 5x to the other side

sign changes from +5x to -5x

23-5x= 5x-5x-2y

23-5x= -2y

divide both sides by -2 to get y by itself

23/-2-5x/-2= -2y/-2

Answer:

y=-23/2+5x/2 or y=5x/2-23/2

Answer 2

Explanation:

23 = 5x - 2y.

2y = 5x -23. Rearrange to make y the subject

y = (5/2)x - 23/2
