Solve 5.3x+y=28.5

$$5.3 x + y = 28.5$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{285-10y}{53}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract y from both sides.

$$5.3x=28.5-y$$

Divide both sides of the equation by 5.3, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{5.3x}{5.3}=\frac{28.5-y}{5.3}$$

Dividing by 5.3 undoes the multiplication by 5.3.

$$x=\frac{28.5-y}{5.3}$$

Divide 28.5-y by 5.3 by multiplying 28.5-y by the reciprocal of 5.3.

$$x=\frac{285-10y}{53}$$

Solve for y

$$y=-\frac{53x}{10}+28.5$$

Solution Steps

Subtract 5.3x from both sides.

$$y=28.5-5.3x$$
