Question

What is the value of x in the equation 2x + 3y = 36, when y = 6?
O 8
27
36

Answer 1

x = 9

Explanation:

2x + 3y = 36 (rearranging to move x to one side and y to the other side)

2x = 36 - 3y (divide both sides by 2)

x = (36-3y)/2

x = 36/2 - 3y/2

x = 18 - (3/2)y

when y = 6,

x = 18 - (3/2)(6)

x = 18 - 9

x = 9

Answer 2

Answer: im not sure what options are but hope that helped

Explanation:

you do 3x6= 18

then 36-18= 18

so 18/2 = 9
