Solve 1.6x+0.5y=1225

$$1.6 x + 0.5 y = 1225$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{5y}{16}+765.625$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 0.5y from both sides.

$$1.6x=1225-0.5y$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$1.6x=-\frac{y}{2}+1225$$

Divide both sides of the equation by 1.6, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{1.6x}{1.6}=\frac{-\frac{y}{2}+1225}{1.6}$$

Dividing by 1.6 undoes the multiplication by 1.6.

$$x=\frac{-\frac{y}{2}+1225}{1.6}$$

Divide 1225-\frac{y}{2} by 1.6 by multiplying 1225-\frac{y}{2} by the reciprocal of 1.6.

$$x=-\frac{5y}{16}+\frac{6125}{8}$$

Solve for y

$$y=-\frac{16x}{5}+2450$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 1.6x from both sides.

$$0.5y=1225-1.6x$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$0.5y=-\frac{8x}{5}+1225$$

Multiply both sides by 2.

$$\frac{0.5y}{0.5}=\frac{-\frac{8x}{5}+1225}{0.5}$$

Dividing by 0.5 undoes the multiplication by 0.5.

$$y=\frac{-\frac{8x}{5}+1225}{0.5}$$

Divide 1225-\frac{8x}{5} by 0.5 by multiplying 1225-\frac{8x}{5} by the reciprocal of 0.5.

$$y=-\frac{16x}{5}+2450$$
