Solve 2.5=-1.1x+y

$$2.5=-1.1x+y$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{10y-25}{11}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$-1.1x+y=2.5$$

Subtract y from both sides.

$$-1.1x=2.5-y$$

Divide both sides of the equation by -1.1, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{-1.1x}{-1.1}=\frac{2.5-y}{-1.1}$$

Dividing by -1.1 undoes the multiplication by -1.1.

$$x=\frac{2.5-y}{-1.1}$$

Divide 2.5-y by -1.1 by multiplying 2.5-y by the reciprocal of -1.1.

$$x=\frac{10y-25}{11}$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{11x}{10}+2.5$$

Solution Steps

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

$$-1.1x+y=2.5$$

Add 1.1x to both sides.

$$y=2.5+1.1x$$
