Solve (0.2x-0.5y=19

$$( 0.2 x - 0.5 y = 19$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{5y}{2}+95$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 0.5y to both sides.

$$0.2x=19+0.5y$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$0.2x=\frac{y}{2}+19$$

Multiply both sides by 5.

$$\frac{0.2x}{0.2}=\frac{\frac{y}{2}+19}{0.2}$$

Dividing by 0.2 undoes the multiplication by 0.2.

$$x=\frac{\frac{y}{2}+19}{0.2}$$

Divide 19+\frac{y}{2} by 0.2 by multiplying 19+\frac{y}{2} by the reciprocal of 0.2.

$$x=\frac{5y}{2}+95$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{2x}{5}-38$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 0.2x from both sides.

$$-0.5y=19-0.2x$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$-0.5y=-\frac{x}{5}+19$$

Multiply both sides by -2.

$$\frac{-0.5y}{-0.5}=\frac{-\frac{x}{5}+19}{-0.5}$$

Dividing by -0.5 undoes the multiplication by -0.5.

$$y=\frac{-\frac{x}{5}+19}{-0.5}$$

Divide 19-\frac{x}{5} by -0.5 by multiplying 19-\frac{x}{5} by the reciprocal of -0.5.

$$y=\frac{2x}{5}-38$$
