Solve 2x+8y=60^circ

$$2 x + 8 y = 60 ^ { \circ }$$

Solve for x

$$x=30-4y$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 8y from both sides.

$$2x=60-8y$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{60-8y}{2}$$

Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.

$$x=\frac{60-8y}{2}$$

Divide 60-8y by 2.

$$x=30-4y$$

Solve for y

$$y=-\frac{x}{4}+\frac{15}{2}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 2x from both sides.

$$8y=60-2x$$

Divide both sides by 8.

$$\frac{8y}{8}=\frac{60-2x}{8}$$

Dividing by 8 undoes the multiplication by 8.

$$y=\frac{60-2x}{8}$$

Divide 60-2x by 8.

$$y=-\frac{x}{4}+\frac{15}{2}$$
