Anything you would like it to be. I'm presuming that you mean the equation to be rather than , not that it will make any difference in the answer to this question. This equation shows a relationship between x and y. x can be any real number (or any complex number for that matter), and that will cause y to take on a particular value.

Had you asked, "What does x have to be for y to be ?" I could give you a specific answer.

You could also ask, "What is the value of y when x is ?" and that would also have a specific answer.

On the off chance that you meant to say, "solve this equation for x in terms of y" I'm going to use my presumptive interpretation of your equation statement:




Add 4 to both sides


Multiply both sides by 5
