6x-5y=22
1.) factor the y into the equation So it’ll be 6x-5(-8)=22
2. Solve the equation of -5*-8 = 40
3. The new equation is 6x+40=22
4. Subtract from both sides 22-40 = -18
5. The new equation is 6x=-18
6. Now we have to get x by itself to find its value, so divide by 6 on both sides. 6x/6 = x
And -18/6 = -3
So the value of x is -3
