Solve .58x-.08y=2

$$.58x-.08y=2$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{4y+100}{29}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 0.08y to both sides.

$$0.58x=2+0.08y$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$0.58x=\frac{2y}{25}+2$$

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.58, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{0.58x}{0.58}=\frac{\frac{2y}{25}+2}{0.58}$$

Dividing by 0.58 undoes the multiplication by 0.58.

$$x=\frac{\frac{2y}{25}+2}{0.58}$$

Divide 2+\frac{2y}{25} by 0.58 by multiplying 2+\frac{2y}{25} by the reciprocal of 0.58.

$$x=\frac{4y+100}{29}$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{29x}{4}-25$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 0.58x from both sides.

$$-0.08y=2-0.58x$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$-0.08y=-\frac{29x}{50}+2$$

Divide both sides of the equation by -0.08, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{-0.08y}{-0.08}=\frac{-\frac{29x}{50}+2}{-0.08}$$

Dividing by -0.08 undoes the multiplication by -0.08.

$$y=\frac{-\frac{29x}{50}+2}{-0.08}$$

Divide 2-\frac{29x}{50} by -0.08 by multiplying 2-\frac{29x}{50} by the reciprocal of -0.08.

$$y=\frac{29x}{4}-25$$
