Question

What is the answer to 5x-4y=3

Answer 1

Answer is x= 3/5, y = -3/4

Step by step

We can solve x and y in standard form by substituting zero (0) for x to solve for y and (0) for y to solve x

5(0) -4y = 3
Simplify
-4y = 3
Divide both sides by -4 to solve for y

-4/-4 y = 3/-4
Simplify

y = -3/4

5x -4(0) = 3
Simplify

5x = 3
Divide both sides by 5 to solve for x

5/5 x = 3/5
Simplify

x = 3/5

Answer 2

Answer: we need to get the values of x and y

x=(4y+3)/5

y=(5x-3)/4

Explanation:

let us consider the quation 5x-4y=3

then on adding 4y on both sides it becomes:

5x=3+4y

this equation is in standard form

divide by 5 on both sides

it becomes

x=(3+4y)/5

in the similar way subtract 5x on both sides

then we get -4y=3-5x

it becomes: 4y=5x-3

y=(5x-3)/4
