Solve 50x+72y=349

$$50x+72y=349$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{36y}{25}+\frac{349}{50}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 72y from both sides.

$$50x=349-72y$$

Divide both sides by 50.

$$\frac{50x}{50}=\frac{349-72y}{50}$$

Dividing by 50 undoes the multiplication by 50.

$$x=\frac{349-72y}{50}$$

Divide 349-72y by 50.

$$x=-\frac{36y}{25}+\frac{349}{50}$$

Solve for y

$$y=-\frac{25x}{36}+\frac{349}{72}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 50x from both sides.

$$72y=349-50x$$

Divide both sides by 72.

$$\frac{72y}{72}=\frac{349-50x}{72}$$

Dividing by 72 undoes the multiplication by 72.

$$y=\frac{349-50x}{72}$$

Divide 349-50x by 72.

$$y=-\frac{25x}{36}+\frac{349}{72}$$
