Question

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

Answer 1

Explanation:

If the equation is multiplying the two variables, then:

2x * 3(6) = 36

2x * 18 = 36

2/18x = 2

x = 4/18 (or 2/9)

If the equation is adding the two variables, then:

2x + 3(6) = 36

2x + 18 = 36

2x = 18

x = 9

If the equation is subtracting the two variables, then:

2x - 3(6) = 36

2x - 18 = 36

2x = 54

x = 27

Answer 2

x = 9

Explanation:

So We Already know that y =6

Hence, Let's set up the equation..

2x+18 =36

2x=36-18

x=18/2

x=9

If You don't get it then.

( 9 x 2 ) + ( 3 x 6 ) = 36

18 + 18 = 36
