Solve 4x+9+8y=y-5

$$4 x + 9 + 8 y = y - 5$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{7y}{4}-\frac{7}{2}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 9 from both sides.

$$4x+8y=y-5-9$$

Subtract 9 from -5 to get -14.

$$4x+8y=y-14$$

Subtract 8y from both sides.

$$4x=y-14-8y$$

Combine y and -8y to get -7y.

$$4x=-7y-14$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{-7y-14}{4}$$

Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.

$$x=\frac{-7y-14}{4}$$

Divide -7y-14 by 4.

$$x=-\frac{7y}{4}-\frac{7}{2}$$

Solve for y

$$y=-\frac{4x}{7}-2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract y from both sides.

$$4x+9+8y-y=-5$$

Combine 8y and -y to get 7y.

$$4x+9+7y=-5$$

Subtract 4x from both sides.

$$9+7y=-5-4x$$

Subtract 9 from both sides.

$$7y=-5-4x-9$$

Subtract 9 from -5 to get -14.

$$7y=-14-4x$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$7y=-4x-14$$

Divide both sides by 7.

$$\frac{7y}{7}=\frac{-4x-14}{7}$$

Dividing by 7 undoes the multiplication by 7.

$$y=\frac{-4x-14}{7}$$

Divide -14-4x by 7.

$$y=-\frac{4x}{7}-2$$
