Question 66084
2x + 3y =6 (for y)

Our approach will be to isolate y by itself on one side of the equation.  When we do that, then we will have what y equals.

First, subtract 2x from both sides:

2x-2x+3y=6-2x 

(2x-2x=0 sooooo):


3y=6-2x  Now we know what three y's equal but we need to know what (1)y equals.

Next divide both sides by 3

(3y)/3=(6-2x)/3  

(3/3=1 sooooo):


y=(6-2x)/3




Hope this helps-----ptaylor
