Solve x-y(5.5)=4950

$$x - y ( 5.5 ) = 4950$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{2x}{11}-900$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply -1 and 5.5 to get -5.5.

$$x-5.5y=4950$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$-5.5y=4950-x$$

Divide both sides of the equation by -5.5, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{-5.5y}{-5.5}=\frac{4950-x}{-5.5}$$

Dividing by -5.5 undoes the multiplication by -5.5.

$$y=\frac{4950-x}{-5.5}$$

Divide 4950-x by -5.5 by multiplying 4950-x by the reciprocal of -5.5.

$$y=\frac{2x}{11}-900$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{11y}{2}+4950$$

Solution Steps

Add y\times 5.5 to both sides.

$$x=4950+y\times 5.5$$
