We can't find explicit values for [tex] x [/tex] and [tex] y [/tex], since there is only one equation, but two variables.
The best we can do is solve for one variable with respect to the other:
Solve for [tex] x [/tex]:
subtract [tex] 5y [/tex] from both sides:
[tex] 110-5y = 9x [/tex]
divide both sides by [tex] 9 [/tex]:
[tex] \frac{110-5y}{9} = x [/tex]
Solve for [tex] y [/tex]:
subtract [tex] 9x [/tex] from both sides:
[tex] 110-9x = 5y [/tex]
divide both sides by [tex] 5 [/tex]:
[tex] \frac{110-9x}{5} = y [/tex]
