Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving
5x + -2y = 12
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '2y' to each side of the equation.
5x + -2y + 2y = 12 + 2y
Combine like terms: -2y + 2y = 0
5x + 0 = 12 + 2y
5x = 12 + 2y
Divide each side by '5'.
x = 2.4 + 0.4y
Simplifying
x = 2.4 + 0.4y
