Question

How would solve for 2x – 17y = 13 for y

Answer 1

SOLUTIONS

To solve for y in 2x – 17y = 13

`2x-17y=13`

Make y the subject of formular

`\begin{gathered} 2x-17y=13 \\ 2x-13=17y \end{gathered}`

divide both side by 17

`\begin{gathered} (2x-13)/(17)=(17y)/(17) \\ y=(2x-13)/(17) \end{gathered}`

Therefore the value of y is

`y=(2x-13)/(17)`
