Question 5806: I am having a problem understanding interchanging linear equations between standard form and slope-intercept form. If -/- = +, and -/+ = -, wouldn't the answer to the following problem be -2x + 7/3?
6x + 3y = 7 My solution: 6x + 3y = 7
6x - 6x + 3y = 7 - 6x
3y = 7 - 6x all divided by 3
= y = 7/3 - 2x or -2x + 7/3
Answer by arunpaul(104) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
U see the solution means working out the value of x and y
what u have done is not the actual solution its only a simplification of solution of y in terms of x. so for actual solutin you required two equation . ok think about it......
