Question

Solve for y. 6 x + 2y = z​

Answer 1

The answer to this question is 7

Answer 2

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

Explanation:

Isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

& is the order of operation.

First, subtract 6x from both sides:

6x (-6x) + 2y = z (-6x)

2y = z - 6x

Next, divide 2 from both sides:

(2y)/2 = (z - 6x)/2

y = (z - 6x)/2

y = (z/2) - 3x

`y = (z)/(2) -3x` is your answer.
