2x/5 - 9y = 6 for x
Add 9y to each side to isolate the x term:
2x/5 - 9y + 9y = 9y + 6
Cancel the 9y's on the left side:
2x/5 = 9y + 6
Multiply each side by 5:
2x * 5/5 = 5(9y + 6)
Cancel the 5's on the left side and we get:
2x = 5(9y + 6)
Divide each side by 2 to isolate x:
2x/2 = 5/2(9y + 6)
Cancel the 2's on the left side and we get our final literal equation of:
x = 5/2(9y + 6)
Add 9y to each side to isolate the x term:
2x/5 - 9y + 9y = 9y + 6
Cancel the 9y's on the left side:
2x/5 = 9y + 6
Multiply each side by 5:
2x * 5/5 = 5(9y + 6)
Cancel the 5's on the left side and we get:
2x = 5(9y + 6)
Divide each side by 2 to isolate x:
2x/2 = 5/2(9y + 6)
Cancel the 2's on the left side and we get our final literal equation of:
x = 5/2(9y + 6)
