Solve 2.2=0.07x-0.5y

$$2.2 = 0.07 x - 0.5 y$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{50y+220}{7}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$0.07x-0.5y=2.2$$

Add 0.5y to both sides.

$$0.07x=2.2+0.5y$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$0.07x=\frac{y}{2}+2.2$$

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.07, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{0.07x}{0.07}=\frac{\frac{y}{2}+2.2}{0.07}$$

Dividing by 0.07 undoes the multiplication by 0.07.

$$x=\frac{\frac{y}{2}+2.2}{0.07}$$

Divide 2.2+\frac{y}{2} by 0.07 by multiplying 2.2+\frac{y}{2} by the reciprocal of 0.07.

$$x=\frac{50y+220}{7}$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{7x}{50}-4.4$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$0.07x-0.5y=2.2$$

Subtract 0.07x from both sides.

$$-0.5y=2.2-0.07x$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$-0.5y=-\frac{7x}{100}+2.2$$

Multiply both sides by -2.

$$\frac{-0.5y}{-0.5}=\frac{-\frac{7x}{100}+2.2}{-0.5}$$

Dividing by -0.5 undoes the multiplication by -0.5.

$$y=\frac{-\frac{7x}{100}+2.2}{-0.5}$$

Divide 2.2-\frac{7x}{100} by -0.5 by multiplying 2.2-\frac{7x}{100} by the reciprocal of -0.5.

$$y=\frac{7x}{50}-\frac{22}{5}$$
