Solve for \( y \).
\[ 2x - 5y = 17 \]
Answer (2)
2 x − 5 y = 17 ∣ s u b t r a c t 2 x − 5 y = 17 − 2 x ∣ d i v i d e b y − 5 y = 5 − 17 + 2 x S o l u t i o n i s y = 5 − 17 + 2 x .
To solve for y in the equation 2 x − 5 y = 17 , we isolate y and find y = − 5 17 + 5 2 x . This shows the relationship between y and x . You can substitute values for x to find values of y .
