Solve for x A=x+y-5

$A = x + y - 5$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $x + y - 5 = A$ .

$x + y - 5 = A$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $y$ from both sides of the equation.

$x - 5 = A - y$

Add $5$ to both sides of the equation.

$x = A - y + 5$
