Input:nsolve(y+57+x+16+4x-5,x)

Intepretation:Solve \((y+57+x+16+4x-5=0)\) for \(x\)

\(y+57+x+16+4x-5=0\)

Merge the corresponding terms:

\(y+5x+68=0\)

Move \(y\) and \(68\) to the left:

\(5x=-y-68\)

Divide the entire function by a factor of 5:

\(x=-\frac{1}{5}y-\frac{68}{5}\)

\(=\frac{1}{5}\left(-y-68\right)\)

Q.E.D.
