Solve 0.4x+0.5y=.44

$$0.4x+0.5y=.44$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{5y}{4}+1.1$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 0.5y from both sides.

$$0.4x=0.44-0.5y$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$0.4x=-\frac{y}{2}+0.44$$

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.4, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{0.4x}{0.4}=\frac{-\frac{y}{2}+0.44}{0.4}$$

Dividing by 0.4 undoes the multiplication by 0.4.

$$x=\frac{-\frac{y}{2}+0.44}{0.4}$$

Divide 0.44-\frac{y}{2} by 0.4 by multiplying 0.44-\frac{y}{2} by the reciprocal of 0.4.

$$x=-\frac{5y}{4}+\frac{11}{10}$$

Solve for y

$$y=-\frac{4x}{5}+0.88$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 0.4x from both sides.

$$0.5y=0.44-0.4x$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$0.5y=-\frac{2x}{5}+0.44$$

Multiply both sides by 2.

$$\frac{0.5y}{0.5}=\frac{-\frac{2x}{5}+0.44}{0.5}$$

Dividing by 0.5 undoes the multiplication by 0.5.

$$y=\frac{-\frac{2x}{5}+0.44}{0.5}$$

Divide 0.44-\frac{2x}{5} by 0.5 by multiplying 0.44-\frac{2x}{5} by the reciprocal of 0.5.

$$y=-\frac{4x}{5}+\frac{22}{25}$$
