Question

you need to solve for y

5x+2y=4

Answer 1

5x+2y=4

2y=-5x+4

Divide each term in the equation by 2.
(2y)/(2)=-(5x)/(2)+(4)/(2)

Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common terms.
y=-(5x)/(2)+(4)/(2)

Combine the numerators of all expressions that have common denominators.
y=(-5x+4)/(2)
