If x/2 + 3y=6, then solve for x in terms of y and y in terms of x

1 answer:

5 0

X/2 +3y = 6 . . . . . . . . starting point
x/2 = 6 -3y . . . . . . . . subtract terms that don't have x
x = 2(6 -3y) . . . . . . . . multiply by the inverse of the x-coefficient
x = 12 -6y . . . . . . . . . expand if you like

3y = 6 -x/2 . . . . . . . . subtract terms that don't have y
y = (6 -x/2)/3 . . . . . . . multiply by the inverse of the y-coefficient
y = 2 -x/6 . . . . . . . . . expand if you like

5h+9 is the right answer. First you had to used group like terms, and it gave us, $10h-5h+6+3$ . Then add similar elements, and it gave us, $10h-5h=5h$ , or $5h+6+3$ . Finally, you had to add by the numbers, and it gave us, $6+3=9$ , or and it gave us the answer is 5h+9 is the right answer. Hope this helps!
