Question

Solve for x:
4(x-5)
8 =9y
x = [?]y+[ ]

Answer 1

Explanation:

Ok so this is it, then:

`(4(x-5))/(8)=9y` First distribute the 4 into the parenthesis to get rid of them. This gives you:

`(4x-20)/(8)=9y` Now undo the division of 8 by multiplying both sides by 8 to get:

4x - 20 = 72y Add 20 to both sides to get:

4x = 92y so

x = 23y
