Question

Y = -2x +19
solve for x

Answer 1

`x=(19)/(2) -(y)/(2)=9.5-0.5y`

Explanation:

1. Original equation:
   `y=-2x+19`
2. Add 2x on both sides:
   `2x+y=19`
3. Subtract y on both sides:
   `2x=19-y`
4. Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
   `x=(19)/(2)-(y)/(2)=9.5-0.5y`
5. Done!

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

x = − y /2 + 19/2
