Algebra.Com's Answer #593009 by Boreal(15235) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Put this in form of y on left and whatever x will be on right. That will get you very close to what you need.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "9x-2y=5 \n" ); document.write( "subtract 9x both sides \n" ); document.write( "-2y=-9x+5 \n" ); document.write( "Divide by (-2) \n" ); document.write( "y= -(9/2) x - 5/(2) don't worry about the constant.
