How do you solve #8x+3y=152.5# for #x#?

Answer 1

Aurora Arias

#x=(152.5-3y)/8#

Solve for #x#.

#8x+3y=152.5#

Subtract #3y# from both sides.

#8x=152.5-3y#

Divide both sides by #8#.

#x=(152.5-3y)/8#

To solve the equation (8x + 3y = 152.5) for (x), you would follow these steps:

Subtract (3y) from both sides of the equation to isolate the term involving (x): [8x = 152.5 - 3y]
Divide both sides of the equation by 8 to solve for (x): [x = \frac{{152.5 - 3y}}{8}]

So, (x) is equal to (\frac{{152.5 - 3y}}{8}).
