Question 27211
If the point (-2,Y) is a solution fo rthe equation 3x - 2y= -18, what is the value of Y?

So, the value of x in the given equation is -2.  Putting the value in the equation we get, 

    3(-2) - 2y = -18,
or, -6 -2y + 6 = -18 + 6,
or, -2y = -12,
or, -2y / -2 = -12 / -2,
so, y = -6. (answer)
