Answer:
Simplifying
5x + 3y = 16
Solving
5x + 3y = 16
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3y' to each side of the equation.
5x + 3y + -3y = 16 + -3y
Combine like terms: 3y + -3y = 0
5x + 0 = 16 + -3y
5x = 16 + -3y
Divide each side by '5'.
x = 3.2 + -0.6y
Simplifying
x = 3.2 + -0.6y
