<h3>Given</h3>

P = 3r + 2s

<h3>Find</h3>

the corresponding equation for s

<h3>Solution</h3>

First of all, look at how this is evaluated in terms of what happens to a value for s.

  1. s is multiplied by 2
  2. 3r is added to that product

To solve for s, you undo these operations in reverse order. The "undo" for addition is adding the opposite. The "undo" for multiplication is division (or multiplication by the reciprocal).

... P = 3r + 2s . . . . . . starting equation

... P - 3r = 2s . . . . . . -3r is added to both sides to undo addition of 3r

... (P -3r)/2 = s . . . . . both sides are divided by 2 to undo the multiplication

Note that the division is of everything on both sides of the equation. That is why we need to add parentheses around the expression that was on the left—so the whole thing gets divided by 2.

Your solution is ...

... s = (P - 3r)/2

Complete the table of ordered pairs for the linear y=2x-8
ExtremeBDS [4]

Given:

Consider the below figure attached with this question.

The linear equation is:

y=2x-8

To find:

The values to complete the table of ordered pairs for the given linear equation.

Solution:

We have,

y=2x-8

Substituting x=0 in the given equation, we get

y=2(0)-8

y=0-8

y=-8

So, the value for first blank is -8.

Substituting y=-2 in the given equation, we get

-2=2x-8

-2+8=2x

\dfrac{6}{2}=x

3=x

So, the value for second blank is 3.

Substituting x=2 in the given equation, we get

y=2(2)-8

y=4-8

y=-4

So, the value for third blank is -4.

Therefore, the required complete table is:

     x           y

     0         -8

    3         -2

     2          -4
