Answer:

x = -2y

Explanation:

Simplifying

600x + 200y = 500x

Solving

600x + 200y = 500x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-500x' to each side of the equation.

600x + -500x + 200y = 500x + -500x

Combine like terms: 600x + -500x = 100x

100x + 200y = 500x + -500x

Combine like terms: 500x + -500x = 0

100x + 200y = 0

Add '-200y' to each side of the equation.

100x + 200y + -200y = 0 + -200y

Combine like terms: 200y + -200y = 0

100x + 0 = 0 + -200y

100x = 0 + -200y

Remove the zero:

100x = -200y

Divide each side by '100'.

x = -2y

Simplifying

x = -2y

hope this helps!
