Question

Solve for y -2x+5y=7

Answer 1

`y=(2)/(5x)+(7)/(5)`

Explanation:

Solve the following equation in terms of x:

`-2x+5y=7`

To solve for y, we need to use inverse operations to solve equations. Remember that Addition and subtraction are inverse operations as multiplication and division.

Therefore,

`\begin{gathered} \text{ As a first step put 2x adding on the other side of the equation:} \\ 5y=7+2x \\ \text{ Then, divide by 5 both terms on the other side:} \\ y=(2)/(5x)+(7)/(5) \end{gathered}`
