QUESTION:

Solve for x. 3x � 2y = 6

ANSWER:

No. Your answer is not correct....

Here you are asked to solve it for 'x'

For that retain the tern containing x in one side and move all other terms to the other side.

For that add 2y both sides of the expression

==> 3x � 2y + 2y = 6 + 2y

==> 3x = 6 + 2y

Now retain ony x in the left side
( here 3 is multiples by x )

Now divide both sides by 3

==> 3x/3 = ( 6 + 2y )/3

==> x = 6/3 + 2y/3

==> x = 2 + 2y/3 which is the answer.

Hope you found the explanation useful.

Regards.

Praseena.
