Solve x-y+10=0

$$x - y + 10 = 0$$

Solve for x

$$x=y-10$$

Solution Steps

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

$$x+10=y$$

Subtract 10 from both sides.

$$x=y-10$$

Solve for y

$$y=x+10$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$-y+10=-x$$

Subtract 10 from both sides.

$$-y=-x-10$$

Divide both sides by -1.

$$\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{-x-10}{-1}$$

Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.

$$y=\frac{-x-10}{-1}$$

Divide -x-10 by -1.

$$y=x+10$$
