Write in y=mx+b Form (8x-5y)/3=x+2

$\frac{8 x - 5 y}{3} = x + 2$

Step 1

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Step 2

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

Multiply both sides by $3$ .

$\frac{8 x - 5 y}{3} \cdot 3 = (x + 2) \cdot 3$

Simplify.

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{8 x - 5 y}{3} \cdot 3 = (x + 2) \cdot 3$

Rewrite the expression.

$8 x - 5 y = (x + 2) \cdot 3$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify $(x + 2) \cdot 3$ .

Apply the distributive property.

$8 x - 5 y = x \cdot 3 + 2 \cdot 3$

Simplify the expression.

Move $3$ to the left of $x$ .

$8 x - 5 y = 3 \cdot x + 2 \cdot 3$

Multiply $2$ by $3$ .

$8 x - 5 y = 3 x + 6$

Solve for $y$ .

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

Subtract $8 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 5 y = 3 x + 6 - 8 x$

Subtract $8 x$ from $3 x$ .

$- 5 y = - 5 x + 6$

Divide each term in $- 5 y = - 5 x + 6$ by $- 5$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 5 y = - 5 x + 6$ by $- 5$ .

$\frac{- 5 y}{- 5} = \frac{- 5 x}{- 5} + \frac{6}{- 5}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 5 y}{- 5} = \frac{- 5 x}{- 5} + \frac{6}{- 5}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{- 5 x}{- 5} + \frac{6}{- 5}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Cancel the common factor of $- 5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$y = \frac{- 5 x}{- 5} + \frac{6}{- 5}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$y = x + \frac{6}{- 5}$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y = x - \frac{6}{5}$
