How do you solve for y in #7x + 2y = 5#?

Answer 1

#y = (5-7x)/2#

Or # y = -7/2x +2 1/2#

Seeing that there is only one equation with both x and y, it is not possible to solve for a single value for y. There are infinitely many solutions to this equation as it is. (0,2.5) (1,-1) (2,-4.5) (-1, +6) are but a few...

We can therefore only solve for y "IN TERMS OF" x.

#2y = 5-7x#
#y = (5-7x)/2#

Answer 2

To solve for y in the equation 7x + 2y = 5:

  1. Subtract 7x from both sides to isolate the y term.
  2. Divide both sides by 2 to solve for y.
  3. Simplify both sides.
  4. The solution for y is y = (5 - 7x)/2.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
