Answer:

x=−2+2y/5

Explanation:

Add 2y to both sides of the equation.5x=−10+2y

Divide each term in 5x=−10+2y by 5 and simplify.

Divide each term in 5x=−10+2y by 55x5=−105+2y5Simplify the left side

. Cancel the common factor of 5

Cancel the common factor.5x5=−105+2y5Divide x by1.x=−105+y5

Simplify the right side.

Divide

−10 by 5
