2x%2B3y=6 Start with the given equation


2x=6-3ySubtract 3y from both sides


x=%286-3y%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x


x=6%2F2-3y%2F%282%29 Break up the fraction


x=3-%283%2F2%29y Reduce


x=-%283%2F2%29y%2B3 Rearrange the terms

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is x=-%283%2F2%29y%2B3
