Question

Solve for y 1/3x+2y=8

Answer 1

1. Simplify
`(1)/(3) x` to
`(x)/(3)`

`(x)/(3) +2y=8`

2. Subtract
`(x)/(3)` from both sides

`2y=8-(x)/(3)`

3. Divide both sides by 2

`y=(8-(x)/(3) )/(2)`

4. Simplify
`(8-(x)/(3) )/(2)` to
`(8)/(2)` - x/3/2

y=8/2-x/3/2

5. Simplify 8/2 to 4

y=4-x/3/2

6. Simplify x/3/2 to x/3x2

y=4-x/3x2

7. Simplify 3x2 to 6

-y=4-x/6
