Solve -25=x-8y/8

$$- 25 = \frac { x - 8 y } { 8 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=8\left(y-25\right)$$

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides by 8.

$$-25\times 8=x-8y$$

Multiply -25 and 8 to get -200.

$$-200=x-8y$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x-8y=-200$$

Add 8y to both sides.

$$x=-200+8y$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{x+200}{8}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by 8.

$$-25\times 8=x-8y$$

Multiply -25 and 8 to get -200.

$$-200=x-8y$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x-8y=-200$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$-8y=-200-x$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$-8y=-x-200$$

Divide both sides by -8.

$$\frac{-8y}{-8}=\frac{-x-200}{-8}$$

Dividing by -8 undoes the multiplication by -8.

$$y=\frac{-x-200}{-8}$$

Divide -200-x by -8.

$$y=\frac{x}{8}+25$$
