Question

What is 6x - 7y = 2(x+10y )

Answer 1

6x-7y= 2(x+10y)

x=24/4y

Answer 2

For this case, we must simplify the following equation:

$6x-7y = 2 (x + 10y)$

We apply distributive property to the terms of the parenthesis on the right side of the equation:

$6x-7y = 2x + 20y$

We subtract "2x" on both sides of the equation:

$6x-2x-7y = 2x-2x + 20y\\4x-7y = 20y$

We add "7y" to both sides of the equation:

$4x-7y + 7y = 20y + 7y\\4x = 27y$

We clear one of the variables:

$y = \frac {4x} {27}$

Answer:

$y = \frac {4x} {27}$
