Question 370583
{{{x+5y=25}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5y=25-x}}} Subtract {{{x}}} from both sides.



{{{5y=-x+25}}} Rearrange the terms.



{{{y=(-x+25)/(5)}}} Divide both sides by {{{5}}} to isolate y.



{{{y=((-1)/(5))x+(25)/(5)}}} Break up the fraction.



{{{y=-(1/5)x+5}}} Reduce.
