Explanations help!

Sagot :

Answer:

5y+7x-7x=8-7x

5y=8-7x

5y/5 = (8-7x)/5

y = (8-7x)/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

[tex]x = - \frac{5}{7} y + 1 \frac{1}{7} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]7x + 5y = 8[/tex]

-5y on both sides:

[tex]7x = - 5y + 8[/tex]

Divide both sides by 7:

[tex]x = - \frac{5}{7} y + \frac{8}{7} [/tex]

[tex]x = - \frac{5}{7} x + 1 \frac{1}{7} [/tex]
