Solve for x 8-3y=5+6x

Problem

8−3*y=5+6*x

Solution

1. Isolate the term containing x by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation.

8−3*y−5=6*x

2. Simplify the constant terms on the left side.

3−3*y=6*x

3. Divide both sides by 6 to solve for x

(3−3*y)/6=x

4. Simplify the fraction by factoring out a 3 from the numerator and dividing.

(3*(1−y))/6=x

(1−y)/2=x

Final Answer

x=(1−y)/2
