Given the linear equation 2x + y = 6, perform the necessary operations to put the equation into the proper general form. Explain
in complete sentences how you knew that the equation was in the proper general form. Complete your work in the space provided or upload a file that can display math symbols if your work requires it. Include the entire process for establishing the general form of the equation and the general form.
Combine like terms. -2y+y=-y. The equation is now -y-3=6. You need to get the y by itself so add 3 to both sides. The equation is now -y=9. You are solving for y so divide both sides by -1. The equation will be y=-9. The answer is y=-9. Hope this helps! ;)
