Answer 1

nuber 1

Simplifying

3x + 2y = 35

Solving

3x + 2y = 35

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.

3x + 2y + -2y = 35 + -2y

Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0

3x + 0 = 35 + -2y

3x = 35 + -2y

Divide each side by '3'.

x = 11.66666667 + -0.6666666667y

Simplifying

x = 11.66666667 + -0.6666666667y
