First isolate x by multiplying by x on both sides. It will look like this:
(2/3)x=1.2
Then devise by (2/3) on both sides to get:
x= 1.2/(2/3)
The easiest way to get this is plug that into a calculator and get the answer:
x=1.8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Without a second equation relating x and y, we can solve 3x - 1/2y = 2 ONLY for x in terms of y or for y in terms of x:
x in terms of y: Multiply all three terms of 3x - 1/2y = 2 by 2, to eliminate the fraction: 6x - y = 4. Now add y to both sides to isolate 6x: 6x = 4 + y.
Last, divide both sides by 6 to isolate x:
x = (4 + y)/6
y in terms of x:
y = 6x - 4
If you want a numerical solution, please provide another equation in x and y and solve the resulting system.
I think it's higher because as far as the integer gets, the higher its absolute value gets. So, put higher in the blank.
