Question

Given that 6x – 5y = 14
Find x when y = 2​

Answer 1

x = 4

Explanation:

Given

6x - 5y = 14 ← substitute y = 2 into the equation

6x - 5(2) = 14

6x - 10 = 14 ( add 10 to both sides )

6x = 24 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 4

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\sf x = 4}`

Explanation:

`\sf 6x-5y = 14\\\\Put \ y = 2\\\\6x - 5(2) = 14\\\\6x - 10 = 14\\\\ Adding \ 10 \ to \ both \ sides\\\\6x = 14+10\\\\6x = 24\\\\Dividing \ both \ sides \ by \ 6\\\\x = 24 / 6\\\\x = 4\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Hope this helped!
