Question

PLEASE HELP IM STUCK

Answer 1

Explanation:

we have

2y = 4x - 9

and we want it to look like

...x + ...y = -9

simple.

the y term is already on the left side. we need to move the x term to the same side.

what do we do ? we subtract the term we want to get rid of on one side from both sides (we always have to do changes in both sides of the equation, or we change the whole meaning of the equation).

2y = 4x - 9 | -4x on both sides

-4x + 2y = -9

and we are finished. that's it.

Answer 2

-4x + 2y = -9

Explanation:

Pre-Solving Information

We are given the equation 2y=4x-9, and we want to convert it into standard form.

Standard form is written as ax+by=c, where a, b, and c are free integer coefficients, however a and b cannot be 0.

Solving

Notice how in standard form, x and y are on the same side. Currently, x and y are on different sides.

Therefore, we first need to get x and y on the same side.

We can do this by subtracting 4x from both sides.

2y = 4x - 9

-4x -4x

_____________

-4x + 2y = -9

As indicated by the -9 on the left side, we have solved the question, and are now done.

Hence, the answer is -4x + 2y = -9.
