Question

Solve the equation for y.

2x + 5y = 5


y=25x+1

y=−10x+25

y=−25x+1

y=25x+5

Answer 1

Answer: C

Explanation:

`2x+5y=5`

`\mathrm{Subtract\:}2x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}`

`2x+5y-2x=5-2x`

`\mathrm{Simplify}`

`5y=5-2x`

`\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}5`

`(5y)/(5)=(5)/(5)-(2x)/(5)`

`\mathrm{Simplify}`

`\bf{y=-(2)/(5)x + 1}`
