8x-8y=5

Subtract 8x from each side:
-8y = 5 -8x

Divide both sides by -8:
y=5/-8 +-8x/-8
y=-5/8 + x

R^2

Do a "Bing" search for my last name "Rapalje", and look for "Rapalje Homepage" near the top of the Bing Search. Near the top of my Homepage is a link "Basic, Intermediate and College Algebra: One Step at a Time." Click on this link and choose "Basic Algebra". Look for "Chapter 3", then "Section 3.07 Literal Equations." Also, look for my "MATH IN LIVING COLOR" page for this section.
