Question

1 Given the equation 6x - y = 98, find x if y = -2.

Answer 1

In order to get the answer to this question you will have to insert the -2 and add instead of subtract and solve.

$6x-y=98$

$6x+2=98$

$-2 -2$

$98-2=96$

$6x=96$

$96\div 6 =16$

$x = 16$

Therefore the answer is "16."

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - y = 98, find x if y = -2.

Plug in y = - 2 into the equation

6x - (-2) = 98

6x + 2 = 98

Subtract 2 from both sides

6x = 96

Divide both sides by 6

x  = 16
