Question

Solve the following equation for x: 2x − 3y = 6. x = three halvesy + 3 x = three halvesy − 3 x = negative three halvesy − 3 x = negative three halvesy + 3

Answer 1

x = three halves y + 3

Explanation:

Answer 2

`x=(3)/(2)y+3`

x = three halves y + 3

Explanation:

we have

`2x-3y=6`

Solve for x

That means -----> Isolate the variable x

Adds 3y both sides

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

`2x=3y+6`

Divide by 2 both sides

`2x/2=(3y+6)/2`

`x=(3y+6)/2`

`x=(3)/(2)y+(6)/(2)`

`x=(3)/(2)y+3`

therefore

x = three halves y + 3
