Solve each of the equations for . That is, do whatever manipulations are required to get all by itself on the LHS and everything else on the RHS. In other words, make the equation look like .

And stop typing in all caps. It is the electronic equivalent of shouting and is therefore both rude and annoying.

3X-8Y=24 SUBTRACT 3X
-8Y=-3X+24 DIVIDE BY -8
Y=-3X/-8+24/-8 REDUCE FRACTIONS.
Y=3X/8-3 ANS.
---------------------
4X+2Y=-10
2Y=-4X-10
Y=-4X/2-10/2
Y=-2X-5 ANS.
---------------------
3X-5Y=-25
-5Y=-3X-25
Y=-3X/-5-25/-5
Y=3X/5+5 ANS.
