Question

Solve 2xy - x = 3for y. Then find the value for y when x=2

solve 2y + xy = 6for y. Then find the value of y when x= -3

Answer 1

1) y=5/4

2) y=−6

Explanation:

Let's solve the equation step by step.

1) 2xy - x = 3

(2)(2)y - 2 = 3

4y - 2 = 3

4y−2=3

Step 1: Add 2 to both sides.

4y−2+2=3+2

4y=5

Step 2: Divide both sides by 4.

4y/4 = 5/4

y=5/4

2) 2y + xy = 6

2y−3y=6

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2y−3y=6

2y+−3y=6

(2y+−3y)=6(Combine Like Terms)

−y=6

−y=6

Step 2: Divide both sides by -1.

−y/−1 = 6/−1

y=−6
