Solve x+y=35-x+5

$$x+y=35-x+5$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{y}{2}+20$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 35 and 5 to get 40.

$$x+y=40-x$$

Add x to both sides.

$$x+y+x=40$$

Combine x and x to get 2x.

$$2x+y=40$$

Subtract y from both sides.

$$2x=40-y$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{40-y}{2}$$

Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.

$$x=\frac{40-y}{2}$$

Divide 40-y by 2.

$$x=-\frac{y}{2}+20$$

Solve for y

$$y=40-2x$$

Solution Steps

Add 35 and 5 to get 40.

$$x+y=40-x$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$y=40-x-x$$

Combine -x and -x to get -2x.

$$y=40-2x$$
