Question

Graph the linear equation 16x + 2y = 300. Show your work.

Answer 1

y= -8x + 150

x = -0.125y + 18.75

Explanation:

y explanation:

16x+2y=300

Add -16x to both sides: 16x+2y+(-)16x = 300 + (-)16x - this becomes:

2y = -16x+300

Now divide both sides by 2: 2y/2 = (-16x+300)/2 - this becomes:

-8x + 150

So...y= -8x+150

x explanation:

16x+2y = 300

Add -2y to both sides: 16x+2y+(-)2y = 300+(-)2y - this becomes:

16x = -2y+300

Now divide both sides by 16: 16x/16 = (-2y+300)/16 - this becomes:

-1/8y + 75/4...you can simplify this to: -0.125y + 18.75

So...x = -0.125y + 18.75

I hope this helps :)
