Let's solve for x.
10x−16y=−40
Step 1: Add 16y to both sides.
10x−16y+16y=−40+16y
10x=16y−40
Step 2: Divide both sides by 10.
10x/10=16y−40/10
x=8/5y−4
Answer:
x= 8/5y−4

Let's solve for y.
10x−16y=−40
Step 1: Add -10x to both sides.
10x−16y+−10x=−40+−10x
−16y=−10x−40
Step 2: Divide both sides by -16.
−16y/−16 = −10x−40/−16
y= 5/8x + 5/2
