Solve for x 5x-2y=10

Problem

5*x−2*y=10

Solution

1. Isolate the term containing x by adding 2*y to both sides of the equation.

5*x−2*y+2*y=10+2*y

5*x=10+2*y

2. Divide both sides by 5 to solve for x

(5*x)/5=(10+2*y)/5

3. Simplify the expression by dividing each term in the numerator by the denominator.

x=10/5+(2*y)/5

x=2+2/5*y

Final Answer

x=2+2/5*y
