2x+5z=5-8y
Subtract 8y from both sides.
2x=5-8y-5z
Subtract 5z from both sides.
2x=5-5z-8y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{5-5z-8y}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{5-5z-8y}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
x=-\frac{5z}{2}-4y+\frac{5}{2}
Divide 5-8y-5z by 2.
8y+5z=5-2x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
8y=5-2x-5z
Subtract 5z from both sides.
8y=5-5z-2x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{8y}{8}=\frac{5-5z-2x}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
y=\frac{5-5z-2x}{8}
Dividing by 8 undoes the multiplication by 8.
y=-\frac{x}{4}-\frac{5z}{8}+\frac{5}{8}
Divide 5-2x-5z by 8.
