Solve 4x+2y=5

$$4 x + 2 y = 5$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{y}{2}+\frac{5}{4}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 2y from both sides.

$$4x=5-2y$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{5-2y}{4}$$

Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.

$$x=\frac{5-2y}{4}$$

Divide 5-2y by 4.

$$x=-\frac{y}{2}+\frac{5}{4}$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{5}{2}-2x$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 4x from both sides.

$$2y=5-4x$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{5-4x}{2}$$

Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.

$$y=\frac{5-4x}{2}$$

Divide 5-4x by 2.

$$y=\frac{5}{2}-2x$$
