Question

Solve the equation 3x - 13y = 2 for y.

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = \frac{3}{13}x-\frac{2}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Move 3x to the other side, since 3x is being moved to the other side the sign will change from a positive to a negative

$-13y = -3x+2$

Divide both sides by 13

$y = \frac{3}{13}x-\frac{2}{13}$

Answer 2

Hey there! :)

3x - 13y = 2 ; solve for y.

In order to solve for y, we must isolate it by getting it onto its own side. We can do this by subtracting 3x from both sides.

-13y = -3x + 2

Then, divide both sides by -13.

-13y ÷ -13 = (-3x + 2) ÷ -13

Simplify.

y = 3/13x - 2/13

Therefore, $y = \frac{3}{13}x- \frac{2}{13}$

Hope this helped! :)
