Answer:


y=2+(8x)/(5)

Explanation:

1. Move x to the right side of the equation


-8x+5y=10\\5y=10+8x

2. Divide both sides by 5 to get y on its own


5y=10+8x\\y=(10)/(5)+(8x)/(5)

3. Simplify


y=2+(8x)/(5)

Answer:

Explanation:

-8x + 5y = 10

Add '8x' to both sides

5y = 10 + 8x

Divide both sides by 5


(5y)/(5)=(10)/(5)+(8x)/(5)\\\\\\y=2+(8)/(5)x
