Question

What is the value of x in the equation 2x + 3y =36, when y = 6?

Answer 1

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the y value:

2x+(3⋅6)=36

2x+18=36

Subtract 18 from both sides to isolate the 2x:

2x=36−18

2x=18

Divide both sides by 2 to get x on its own:

x=182

x=9

Thus, we have our answer.
