Solve 56x+56y=x

$$56x+56y=x$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{56y}{55}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract x from both sides.

$$56x+56y-x=0$$

Combine 56x and -x to get 55x.

$$55x+56y=0$$

Subtract 56y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$55x=-56y$$

Divide both sides by 55.

$$\frac{55x}{55}=-\frac{56y}{55}$$

Dividing by 55 undoes the multiplication by 55.

$$x=-\frac{56y}{55}$$

Solve for y

$$y=-\frac{55x}{56}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 56x from both sides.

$$56y=x-56x$$

Combine x and -56x to get -55x.

$$56y=-55x$$

Divide both sides by 56.

$$\frac{56y}{56}=-\frac{55x}{56}$$

Dividing by 56 undoes the multiplication by 56.

$$y=-\frac{55x}{56}$$
