Answer:

1)x=−3/5y+17/5

2)x=−3/8y+−9/8

Explanation:

Let's solve for x.

5x+3y=17

Step 1: Add -3y to both sides.

5x+3y+−3y=17+−3y

5x=−3y+17

Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.

5x/5=−3y+17/5

x=−3/5y+17/5

Answer:

x=−3/5y+17/5

Let's solve for x.

−8x−3y=9

Step 1: Add 3y to both sides.

−8x−3y+3y=9+3y

−8x=3y+9

Step 2: Divide both sides by -8.

−8x/−8=3y+9/−8

x=−3/8y+−9/8

Answer:

x=−3/8y+−9/8

I HOPE THIS IS CORRECT IF NOT TELL ME AND ILL FIX IT.
