Question

(4x – 6°) (x + 6y)" Solve for y.

Answer 1

Answer:

Simplifying

(4x + -6) = (x + 6y)

Reorder the terms:

(-6 + 4x) = (x + 6y)

Remove parenthesis around (-6 + 4x)

-6 + 4x = (x + 6y)

Remove parenthesis around (x + 6y)

-6 + 4x = x + 6y

Solving

-6 + 4x = x + 6y

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1x' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 4x + -1x = x + -1x + 6y

Combine like terms: 4x + -1x = 3x

-6 + 3x = x + -1x + 6y

Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0

-6 + 3x = 0 + 6y

-6 + 3x = 6y

Add '6' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 6 + 3x = 6 + 6y

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 6y

3x = 6 + 6y

Divide each side by '3'.

x = 2 + 2y

Simplifying

x = 2 + 2y
