Answer :
Simplifying
6x + 5y = -8
Solving
6x + 5y = -8
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5y' to each side of the equation.
6x + 5y + -5y = -8 + -5y
Combine like terms: 5y + -5y = 0
6x + 0 = -8 + -5y
6x = -8 + -5y
Divide each side by '6'.
x = -1.333333333 + -0.8333333333y
Simplifying
x = -1.333333333 + -0.8333333333y
