Question

Can you substitute 2x+3y=4 and y=2

Answer 1

x= -1

Explanation:

2x + 3y = 4

2x + 3(2) = 4

2x + 6 = 4

2x = 4 - 6

2x = -2

x = -2/2

x = -1

Answer 2

Answer: Yes. The answer is -1.

Explanation:

2x+3y=4, y=2

Would look like this: 2x+3(2)=4.

1. Multiply 3 x 2 = 6

2) 2x + 6 =4

3) Subtract 6 from both sides

4) Will look like this: 2x = -2

5) -2 / 2 = -1

Answer: -1

Equation: 2x+3(2)=4.
