Question

The equatio y =3x/2+8 defines y in terms of x. What is x in terms of y.​

Answer 1

$y = \frac{3x}{2} + 8$

the L.C.M is 2

since it is the highest denominator.

so multiply through by the L.C.M

$2 \times y =2 \times \frac{3x}{2} + 8 \times 2$

$2y = 3x + 16$

making x the subject.

$3x = 2y - 16$

dividing through by 3

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{2y - 16}{3}$

$x = \frac{2y - 16}{3}$
