Question

Solve the following for y: −6x + 2y = 8

Answer 1

-6x + 2y = 8
isolate the y
first add 6x to both sides
2y = 6x + 8
then divide everything by 2 to isolate the y
y = 3x + 4

Hope this helps

Answer 2

`y = 3x+4`

Explanation:

`−6x + 2y = 8`

To solve for y we need to get y alone

To isolate 2y we eliminagte -6x, add 6x on both sides

`−6x+6x + 2y = 8+6x`

`2y = 6x+8`

To get y alone , we need to eliminate 2 from y

Divide both sides by 2

`y = 3x+4`
