Solve 8x-4y+5=0

$$8 x - 4 y + 5 = 0$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{y}{2}-\frac{5}{8}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 4y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$8x+5=4y$$

Subtract 5 from both sides.

$$8x=4y-5$$

Divide both sides by 8.

$$\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{4y-5}{8}$$

Dividing by 8 undoes the multiplication by 8.

$$x=\frac{4y-5}{8}$$

Divide 4y-5 by 8.

$$x=\frac{y}{2}-\frac{5}{8}$$

Solve for y

$$y=2x+\frac{5}{4}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 8x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

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

Subtract 5 from both sides.

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

Divide both sides by -4.

$$\frac{-4y}{-4}=\frac{-8x-5}{-4}$$

Dividing by -4 undoes the multiplication by -4.

$$y=\frac{-8x-5}{-4}$$

Divide -8x-5 by -4.

$$y=2x+\frac{5}{4}$$
