Question

What is the value of x in the equation 2x + 3y = 36, when y = 6? 0 8 O 9 O 27 O 36​

Answer 1

x = 9

Explanation:

1. Substitute 6 for y

• 2x + 3(6) = 36

2. Multiply 3 * 6

• 2x + 18 = 36

3. Subtract 18 from both sides

• 2x = 18

4. Divide each side by 2

• x = 9

Answer 2

Steps to solve:

2x + 3y = 36 when y = 6

~Substitute

2x + 3(6) = 36

~Simplify

2x + 18 = 36

~Subtract 18 to both sides

2x = 18

~Divide 2 to both sides

x = 9
