Solve for x 2x+y=5

Problem

2*x+y=5

Solution

1. Subtract y from both sides of the equation to isolate the term containing x

2*x+y−y=5−y

2*x=5−y

2. Divide both sides by 2 to solve for x

(2*x)/2=(5−y)/2

3. Simplify the expression to find the final value of x

x=(5−y)/2

Final Answer

x=(5−y)/2
