SOLUTION: graph the equation and id the y intercept ; x + 2y = 10 as far as I get is subtract the x from both sides, y=(-1/2x)+5 after that I don't know what steps are next.

The easiest way to graph a line is to use the x and y intercepts since you only need two points to define a line.
To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x.
x+%2B+2y+=+10+
x%2B0=10
x=10
(10,0)
Plot that point.

To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and solve for y.
x+%2B+2y+=+10++
0%2B2y=10
y=5
(0,5)
Plot that point.

Now connect the points with a line that goes through both of them.
