Question

Solve 24x + 2y = 48 for x

Answer 1

Simplifying 24x + 2y = 48.  Solving 24x + 2y = 48.
  Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
 Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.
 24x + 2y + -2y = 48 + -2y.
  Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0 24x + 0 = 48 + -2y 24x = 48 + -2y.
  Divide each side by '24'.
x = 2 + -0.08333333333y Simplifying x = 2 + -0.08333333333y

Answer 2

Isolate x.
24x = 48 - 2y

Divide by 24.
x = 2 - y/12
