Answer:


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:

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

x = − y /2 + 19/2
