Answer:
x = 4y - 1/120y, y ≠ 0
Explanation:
First, let's subtract 2x from both sides of the equation:
2x + 5 ⋅ 3y ⋅ 8x - 2 - 2x = 2x + 4y - 3 - 2x
Simplify:
5 ⋅ 3y ⋅ 8x - 2 = 4y - 3
Multiply the 5 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 8:
120xy - 2 = 4x - 3
Add 2 to both sides of the equation:
120xy - 2 + 2 = 4x -3 + 2
Simplify:
120xy = 4y - 1
Divide both sides by the 120y:
120xy/120y = 4y/120y = 1/120y; y ≠ 0
So,
x = 4y - 1/120y, y ≠ 0
I hope this helps!
