Solve x+y=35-x-5

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

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{y}{2}+15$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 5 from 35 to get 30.

$$x+y=30-x$$

Add x to both sides.

$$x+y+x=30$$

Combine x and x to get 2x.

$$2x+y=30$$

Subtract y from both sides.

$$2x=30-y$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{30-y}{2}$$

Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.

$$x=\frac{30-y}{2}$$

Divide 30-y by 2.

$$x=-\frac{y}{2}+15$$

Solve for y

$$y=30-2x$$

Solution Steps

Subtract 5 from 35 to get 30.

$$x+y=30-x$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$y=30-x-x$$

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

$$y=30-2x$$
