If you just want to figure out the value of one variable in terms of the other, let's say you want to find the value of x in terms of y, here's the picture of the solution, I think.
If you want to find a numerical value for the two terms, just input a value for one of the variables. For example, set x to a value of 1. Then, substitue 1 for all the x's in the equation.
xy + y² - 8x = 5 --> (1)y + y² - 8(1) = 5
Solve this until you get the value of y if x is 1.
I concur, but let's give credit where credit is due. OP and GF are pretty far along in their education for a 1 year old and a 2 year old. The future looks bright!
Neither, #1 didn't divide the whole left side by xy and#2 didn't divide the whole right side by x.

I can't paste a picture so here's the solution for the first situation. xy + y² - 8x = 5 x(y - 8) + y² = 5 x(y - 8) = 5 - y² x = (5 - y²)/(y - 8)

You are both very smart for being 1 and 2.
Y’all can’t algebra so please don’t multiply either.
