Question

Solve for Y

3x + 2y = 10
a. y = 3/2 x + 5
b. y = 2/3 x +5
c. y = -3/2 x + 5
d. y = -2/3 x +5

Answer 1

To solve for y, subtract 3x from both sides of the equation 3x + 2y = 10, then divide by 2 to isolate y.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation 3x + 2y = 10 can be solved for y. We want to isolate the variable y, so we need to get rid of the term 3x. To do this, we can subtract 3x from both sides of the equation:

3x + 2y - 3x = 10 - 3x

Simplifying:

2y = 10 - 3x

Next, divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for y:

y = (10 - 3x) / 2)

This is the general form of the equation for y. To solve for y in terms of x, we can simplify further if needed.
