Question

What is the solution to the system of equations below?
2x + 5y = 32

Answer 1

y= 2x/5 + 6.4

Explanation:

divide both sides by 2x

5y = 2x + 32

divide both sides by 5

y = 2x/5 + 6.4

follow same step to solve for x except first divide by 5y instead of 2x

Answer 2

x = 16 -5/2y

Explanation:

2x + 5y = 32

2x = 32 -5y

/2 /2

x = 16 -5/2y
