How do you solve the equation [tex]y = 2.5x + 5[/tex] for \(x\)?

if you are solving for x. y=2.5x+5 you subtract 5 from both sides. -5=2.5x then divide both sides with 2.5 -5/2.5 2.5/2.5 the 2.5s will cancel each other out. x=-2

To solve y = 2.5 x + 5 for x , isolate x by subtracting 5 from y and then dividing by 2.5. The final solution is x = 2.5 y − 5 ​ . This allows you to determine x based on any given value of y .
