Question 66719: 3x – 2y = 6 Solve for x

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3x - 2y = 6

First you must get the x term alone, in this case, on the left side, by adding +2y to each side:
3x= 6+2y

Next, divide each side by 3:
%283x%29%2F3=%286%2B2y%29%2F3
x=%286%2B2y%29%2F3

There are other ways to solve this equation that are equally correct. You might have written it like this:
+%283x%29%2F3=6%2F3+%2B+%282y%29%2F3
x+=+2+%2B+%282y%29%2F3 or x=+2+%2B+%282%2F3%29%2Ay+
