Question

The equation 5x-10y=10 is written in standard form. What is the first step when solving for x?

Answer 1

Isolate the y variable on one side.

Answer 2

add 10y to both sides of the equation

Explanation:

Let's solve for x.

5x−10y=30

Step 1: Add 10y to both sides.

5x−10y+10y=30+10y

5x=10y+30

Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.

5x /5 = 10y+30 /5

x=2y+6

Answer:

x=2y+6
