Question

Samantha is solving a

linear equation for y so
that she can graph it. Here
are her steps:
3x + y = 6
Step 1:
3x + y = 6
- 3x
- 3x
-
Step 2:
y = 3x
What error did Samantha
make?

Answer 1

the correct answer for this problem: x= -1/3y + 2

Let’s solve for x
3x + y= 6

Add -y to both sides
3x + y + -y = 6+ -y
3x = -y + 6

Divide both sides by 3
3x/3 = -y + 6/ 3

And so your answer is at the top hope this helps.
