160x-5\times 8y=-128
Multiply both sides of the equation by 40, the least common multiple of 8,5.
160x-40y=-128
Multiply -5 and 8 to get -40.
160x=-128+40y
Add 40y to both sides.
160x=40y-128
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{160x}{160}=\frac{40y-128}{160}
Divide both sides by 160.
x=\frac{40y-128}{160}
Dividing by 160 undoes the multiplication by 160.
x=\frac{y}{4}-\frac{4}{5}
Divide -128+40y by 160.
160x-5\times 8y=-128
Multiply both sides of the equation by 40, the least common multiple of 8,5.
160x-40y=-128
Multiply -5 and 8 to get -40.
-40y=-128-160x
Subtract 160x from both sides.
-40y=-160x-128
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-40y}{-40}=\frac{-160x-128}{-40}
Divide both sides by -40.
y=\frac{-160x-128}{-40}
Dividing by -40 undoes the multiplication by -40.
y=4x+\frac{16}{5}
Divide -128-160x by -40.
