Question

2x+y=7, what is the value of y if x=3?

Answer 1

Hi student, let me help you out!

...................................................................................................

Let's substitute the value of x for x:
`\mathrm{2(3)+y=7}`.

Upon simplifying, we get:
`\mathrm{6+y=7}`.

Now we solve for y by subtracting 6 from both sides:
`\mathrm{1=y}`

Thus, the solution is
`\bigstar~\underline{\boxed{\mathrm{y=1}}}`
