Question

Now find x when y = 2. y = 6x + 8

Answer 1

x = -1

Explanation:

Rewrite the equation as 6x + 8 = 2

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.
6x = 2 − 8

Subtract 8 from 2.

6x = −6

Divide each term in 6x = −6 by 6 and simplify.

Divide each term in 6x = −6 by 6.

`(6x)/(6) = (-6)/(6)`

Simplify the left side.

`x=(-6)/(6)`
Simplify the right side.

Divide -6 by 6

x = -1
