Question

Find x when y = 0:2x + 3y = -8x = ?

Answer 1

Substituting y=0 in the given equation, we get:

`\begin{gathered} 2x+3(0)=-8. \\ \end{gathered}`

Simplifying the above result, we get:

`2x=-8.`

Now, dividing the above equation by 2, we get:

`(2x)/(2)=(-8)/(2).`

Therefore:

`x=-4.`

Answer:

`x=-4.`
