Solve for x 12x+30y=180

Problem

12*x+30*y=180

Solution

1. Isolate the term containing x by subtracting 30*y from both sides of the equation.

12*x=180−30*y

2. Divide every term in the equation by 12 to solve for x

x=(180−30*y)/12

3. Simplify the expression by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 6

x=(30−5*y)/2

4. Distribute the division to write the expression in a simpler linear form.

x=15−5/2*y

Final Answer

x=15−5/2*y
