Question

5x-6y=-8 solve the equation

Answer 1

Solved for y:
`y = 4/3 + 5/6x`

Solved for x:
`x = 6/5y - 8/5`

Explanation:

Solving for y

Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides

`5x - 6y - 5x = -8 - 5x`

`-6y = -8 - 5x`

Step 2: Divide both sides by -6

`-6y / -6 = (-8 - 5x) / -6`

`y = 4/3 + 5/6x`

Solving for x

Step 3: Add 6y to both sides

`5x - 6y + 6y = -8 + 6y`

`5x = 6y - 8`

Step 4: Divide both sides by 5

`5x / 5 = (6y - 8) / 5`

`x = 6/5y - 8/5`
