Solve x=5y-74+1.621

$$x = 5 y - 74 + 1.621$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{x}{5}+14.4758$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add -74 and 1.621 to get -72.379.

$$x=5y-72.379$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$5y-72.379=x$$

Add 72.379 to both sides.

$$5y=x+72.379$$

Divide both sides by 5.

$$\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{x+72.379}{5}$$

Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.

$$y=\frac{x+72.379}{5}$$

Divide x+72.379 by 5.

$$y=\frac{x}{5}+\frac{72379}{5000}$$

Solve for x

$$x=5y-72.379$$

Solution Steps

Add -74 and 1.621 to get -72.379.

$$x=5y-72.379$$
