Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
The first error is in the fourth step:
-2y + 8 + 8 = -5x + 8
The user is attempting to get rid of the constant 8 on the right side of the previous equation. Instead of subtracting 8, user has added 8. That error has propagated. But again with that particular error, in the 6th step you should be dividing by -2, not 2
Corrected steps are as follows
5x - 2y + 8 = 0
1. Subtract 5x from both sides:
5x - 5x - 2y + 8 = 0-5x
2. Simplify above:
-2y + 8 = -5x
3. Subtract 8 from both sides:
-2y + 8 - 8 = -5x - 8
4. Simplify above:
-2y = -5x - 8
5. Divide both sides by -2:
-2y/-2 = -5x/-2 - 8/-2
Simplify to get
y = 5/2 x + 4
