Question

Solve the equation 3xy+4=8y-2x for x in terms of y

Answer 1

x =
`(8y-4)/(3y+2)`

Explanation:

Given

3xy + 4 = 8y - 2x ( add 2x to both sides )

3xy + 2x + 4 = 8y ( subtract 4 from both sides )

3xy + 2x = 8y - 4 ← factor out x from each term on the left side

x(3y + 2) = 8y - 4 ← divide both sides by (3y + 2)

x =
`(8y-4)/(3y+2)`
