Hi there!


When you answer a math problem with 2 variables, you have to make sure the other is in your answer. :)


Solve for x -


Step 1) Add -6y to both sides.


3x + 6y + -6y = 18 + -6y

3x = -6y + 18


Step 2) Divide both sides by 3.


3x/3 = -6y + 18/3

x = -2y + 6


Final Answer -


x = -2y + 6


Hope this helps!

If you need anything else, send me a message! I'd be happy to help! :D

3x+6y=18
subtract 6y from both sides
3x=18-6y
divide by 3
x=6-2y
