Answer: 5/2x-3
Step-by-step explanation: you would subtract 6 from both sides.
5x = 2y + 6
-6 -6
6-6=0 so they would cross out. and you can't subtract 5x from 6 because they aren't like terms. Your new equation would look like 5x-6 = 2y.
Now you need to get the y alone. To do that you need to divide everything by 2 so that the 2y crosses out. 5x-6 = 2y
-----------------
2 2 2
I'm trying to visually show it sorry if it looks weird. one you divide everything. (5/2) (-6/2) (2/2) you'll need to clean everything up.
Since you can't simply 5/2 leave it as a fraction. Which makes your answer: 5/2x - 3 = y or y = 5/2x - 3
