<PRE><B>Question 127332</B>
Do you want to solve for y?





{{{-5x+8y=-22}}} Start with the given equation




{{{8y=-22+5x}}}Add 5x to both sides



{{{y=(-22+5x)/(8)}}} Divide both sides by 8 to isolate y



{{{y=(-22)/(8)+(5x)/(8)}}} Break up the fraction



{{{y=-(11)/(4)+(5/8)x}}} Reduce



{{{y=(5/8)x-(11)/(4)}}} Rearrange the terms



--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{y=(5/8)x-(11)/(4)}}}
