Answer:
Explanation:
5x + 8y = 24
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-8y' to each side of the equation.
5x + 8y + -8y = 24 + -8y
Combine like terms: 8y + -8y = 0
5x + 0 = 24 + -8y
5x = 24 + -8y
Divide each side by '5'.
x = 4.8 + -1.6y
Simplifying
x = 4.8 + -1.6y
