Find x and y

2x+3y=80

x = 40 + - 1.5y

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2x + 3y = 80

Solving

2x + 3y = 80

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3y' to each side of the equation.

2x + 3y + - 3y = 80 + - 3y

Combine like terms: 3y + - 3y = 0

2x + 0 = 80 + - 3y

2x = 80 + - 3y

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 40 + - 1.5y

Simplifying

x = 40 + - 1.5y
