Question

Tonya wrote the equation below which solves for x.

Answer 1

Given parameters:

    x = 150 minus 6 y

Interpreting this gives;

    minus = subtraction  = -

 

        x  = 150 - 6y

Now bring the variables together;

                    x + 6y  = 150

The option that matches with this equivalent.

The other choices are wrong;

   

   a,  x + 150 = 6 y

           x - 6y = 150   wrong

 c. 2x + 3y = 75   mulitply through by 2;

      2(2x + 3y) = 2(75)

        4x + 6y  = 150      wrong

   d. 2x - 3y = 75

    Multiply by 2;

     2(2x -3y) = 2(75)

      4x - 6y = 150
