Question

1. Solve the following equation for x: 2x + 5y = 8.

A. x = 5 over 2y +4
B. x = -5 over 2y -4
C. x = 5 over 2y -4
D. x = -5 over 2y +4

Answer 1

Answer:

D. $x = \frac{-5}{2} + 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x + 5y = 8$

Subtract 5y from both sides

$2x = -5y +8$

Divide both sides by 2

$x = \frac{-5}{2} + 4$

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is D) $x=\frac{-5y}{2}+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

$2x+5y=8$

We need to solve the provided equation for x.

Subtract 5y from both side.

$2x+5y-5y=8-5y$

$2x=8-5y$

Divide both sides by 2.

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{8-5y}{2}$

$x=\frac{8-5y}{2}$

$x=\frac{-5y+8}{2}$

$x=\frac{-5y}{2}+4$

Hence, the value of the equation is $x=\frac{-5y}{2}+4$

Thus, the correct option is D) $x=\frac{-5y}{2}+4$
