5x−3y=18

To solve the equation 5x - 3y = 18, we need to rearrange the equation to isolate either x or y.

Let's isolate x:

5x - 3y = 18

Add 3y to both sides:

5x = 3y + 18

Divide both sides by 5:

x = (3y + 18)/5

Now, we have the equation in terms of x:

x = (3/5)y + 18/5

Alternatively, you can isolate y by following the same steps:

5x - 3y = 18

Subtract 5x from both sides:

-3y = -5x + 18

Divide both sides by -3:

y = (5/3)x - 18/3

Now, we have the equation in terms of y:

y = (5/3)x - 6
