Question

Solve the y for the equation 5x-2y=10

Answer 1

y = (5/2)x - 5

Explanation:

5x-2y = 10

Subtract 5x from both sides

-2y = 10 - 5x

Rearrange

-2y = -5x + 10

divide both sides by -2 to isolate y

y = (5x/2) + (10/-2)

y = (5/2)x - 5

Answer 2

y = 5/2x - 5

Explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

5x - 2y = 10

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Subtract 5x on both sides: -2y = 10 - 5x
2. Divide both sides by -2: y = -5 + 5/2x
3. Rewrite: y = 5/2x - 5
