Question

Which of the following equations is equivalent to the given equation?- 4x +2y = 6

Answer 1

The given equation is : -4x + 2y = 6

Divide the equation by 2:

`\begin{gathered} (-4x)/(2)+(2y)/(2)=(6)/(2) \\ -2x+y\text{ =3} \end{gathered}`

Simplify the exopression for x,

`\begin{gathered} -2x+y=3 \\ 2x\text{ = y -3} \\ x=(y)/(2)-(3)/(2) \\ x=(1)/(2)y-(3)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Answer : D)
