Answer: x = 3.2 + 0.6y
Step-by-step explanation: Simplifying
5x + -3y = 16
Solving
5x + -3y = 16
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '3y' to each side of the equation.
5x + -3y + 3y = 16 + 3y
Combine like terms: -3y + 3y = 0
5x + 0 = 16 + 3y
5x = 16 + 3y
Divide each side by '5'.
x = 3.2 + 0.6y
Simplifying
x = 3.2 + 0.6y
