Show the steps you used to solve
4x + 2y = 8
5x - 3y = 4

Answer 1

-0.2

Explanation:

Simplifying

5x = 3y + -4

Reorder the terms:

5x = -4 + 3y

Solving

5x = -4 + 3y

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.

x = -0.8 + 0.6y

Simplifying

x = -0.8 + 0.6y
