Question 979533
You can't "solve" it if there are 2 variables x, and y.
If there was just 1 variable, you could solve it.
-------------------
All you can do with this is get {{{ x }}} alone on 
one side, or {{{ y }}} alone on one side.
Is that what they want?
----------------------
{{{ 2x + 2y = -5 }}}
To get {{{ y }}} alone on the left side, first
subtract {{{ 2x }}} from both sides
{{{ 2x - 2x + 2y = - 2x - 5 }}}
{{{ 2y = -2x - 5 }}}
Now divide both sides by {{{ 2 }}}
{{{ y = -x - 5/2 }}}
Hope this helps
