Answer:
x = 0.625 + 0.875y
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
8x + -7y = 5
Solving
8x + -7y = 5
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '7y' to each side of the equation.
8x + -7y + 7y = 5 + 7y
Combine like terms: -7y + 7y = 0
8x + 0 = 5 + 7y
8x = 5 + 7y
Divide each side by '8'.
x = 0.625 + 0.875y
Simplifying
x = 0.625 + 0.875y
