solve for x
3x -2y = 6

Given:
.

.
Because you have two unknowns (x and y) and only one equation, you cannot get a number answer
for x. You can only solve for x in terms of y.
.
To get the answer for x, first get rid of the term on the left side that contains the y. Do
this by adding +2y to both sides. On the left side the -2y and the added +2y cancel each
other out. On the right side the addition of +2y results in 2y + 6. So the equation becomes:
.

.
Finally you can solve for x by dividing both sides of this equation by the 3 that multiplies
the x. After dividing by 3 the left side is just x and the equation is then:
.

.
That is one form of the answer. You can also divide the 3 into each of the terms in the numerator
and you get the answer to be in another form:
.

.
Either answer is correct. I hope this helps you to understand the problem and how to work it.
