Question

How do I solve x+2y=8

Answer 1

If we put x = 0, we get
0 + 2y = 8
=> y = 8 / 2 = 4

if we put y = 0
x + 2 ( 0 ) = 8
=> x = 8

It means that solution set is { (0,4) , ( 8,0 ) }

Answer 2

x+2y=8
2y=8-x |:2

`y=-(1)/(2)x+4`
y=ax+b ==>
`y=-(1)/(2)x+4`
We calculate the zeros of functions (0,b)
(0,b) = (0,4)
We have solution:
x=0, y=4
