Question 170027: I have five questions I need help with. Can't remember how to begin the problems
Given the following equation, 3x – 6y = 18; solve for y. Found 2 solutions by midwood_trail, checkley77:Answer by midwood_trail(310) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3x – 6y = 18; solve for y.
This means to isolate y on one side of the equation.
Begin by subtracting 3x from both sides.
This leaves us with -6y = -3x + 18
To solve for y, divide both sides by -6.
y = -3x/-6 + 18/-6
y = (1/3)(x) - 3
We can also write the answer as y = (x/3) - 3
Either way is right.
