Question 169187: Hello, I just need help with how to solve this equation:
y-1/5x=-2
I know how to solve the problems, but only if there in simplified form already.. You don't have to give me the answer but just tell me how to simplfy it.
Thank you!!

------------------
There are 2 variables, or unknowns, but only 1 equation. You can graph it, it's a straight line, but there's no solution. Every point on the line will satisfy the 1 equation.

You mention "simplify." You can express y in terms of x, or x in terms of y.
y = x/5 -2
------
x = 5y-10
