2x-5y=4. 2x−5y=4. Add 5y to both sides. Add 5y to both sides.

2x=4+5y. 2x=4+5y. The equation is in standard form. The equation is in standard form.

2x=5y+4. 2x=5y+4. Divide both sides by 2. ...

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{5y+4}{2} 22x​=25y+4​ Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2. ...

x=\frac{5y+4}{2} x=25y+4​ Divide 4+5y by 2.

Step-by-step explanation: How do I determine how many solutions an equation has?

If solving an equation yields a statement that is true for a single value for the variable, like x = 3, then the equation has one solution. If solving an equation yields a statement that is always true, like 3 = 3, then the equation has infinitely many solutions.
