Question

The equation of a line is given by 4x-3y=12.How do you solve for x

Answer 1

Simplifying

4x + -3y = 12

Solving

4x + -3y = 12

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '3y' to each side of the equation.

4x + -3y + 3y = 12 + 3y

Combine like terms: -3y + 3y = 0

4x + 0 = 12 + 3y

4x = 12 + 3y

Divide each side by '4'.

x = 3 + 0.75y

Simplifying

x = 3 + 0.75y
