solve x/5-2=y for x — step-by-step solution

Let's solve in

ℝ

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

ⓘ We add

2

to both sides

\frac{x}{5} = y + 2

ⓘ We multiply both sides by

5

x = 5 \cdot (y + 2)

ⓘ Expand by multiplying each term inside the parentheses

x = 5 y + 5 \cdot 2

ⓘ Multiplications are done before additions and subtractions:

5 \cdot 2

10

▶Solution found:

x = 5 y + 10
