Literal Equations

1 - Step

100

 x + 5y = 10    solve for x

x = 10 - 5y

200

 10x + y = 8      solve for y

y=8-10x

300

xy = 5      solve for x

x=5/y

400

 y/7=x      solve for y

y = 7x

500

 x(5 + y)=4     Solve for x

x=(4)/(5+y)

Multi-Step

100

x=8+2y     solve for y

(x-8)/2=y

200

x=yz+w     solve for y

(x-w)/z=y

300

 (x + 1)/2=y      solve for x

x=2y-1

400

 (2y+5)/x=10     solve for y

y=(10x-5)/2

500

 x(4+y)=z     solve for y

y=(z-4x)/x
