Question 172415
Do you want to solve for y? Please post the full instructions.





{{{3x+8y=5}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{8y=5-3x}}} Subtract {{{3x}}} from both sides.



{{{8y=-3x+5}}} Rearrange the terms.



{{{y=(-3x+5)/(8)}}} Divide both sides by {{{8}}} to isolate y.



{{{y=((-3)/(8))x+(5)/(8)}}} Break up the fraction.



{{{y=-(3/8)x+5/8}}} Reduce.
