Question

Solve this equation:

110 = 9x + 5y


Help please!!!❤️

Answer 1

We can't find explicit values for
`x` and
`y`, since there is only one equation, but two variables.

The best we can do is solve for one variable with respect to the other:

Solve for
`x`:

subtract
`5y` from both sides:

`110-5y = 9x`

divide both sides by
`9`:

`(110-5y)/(9) = x`

Solve for
`y`:

subtract
`9x` from both sides:

`110-9x = 5y`

divide both sides by
`5`:

`(110-9x)/(5) = y`
