Question 44062: Please help me solve this equation: y-x=5%2F2x%2By=8
Answer by adamchapman(301) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y-x=5%2F2x%2By
cancel the y's
-x=5%2F2x
0=7%2F2x
So x must be zero.
5%2F2x%2By=8
we now know that x=0, so y=8.
I hope this helps
P.S. I am trying to start up my own homework help website. I would be extremely grateful if you would e-mail me some feedback on the help you received to adam.chapman@student.manchester.ac.uk
