Question

Y-3=2(x+1) Can you guys please help me solve for y

Answer 1

Answer:

First, you have to rewrite the question in a way to isolate your Y. This means moving the -3 over to the other side.

Y = 2(x+1) + 3

Now, you should multiply the 2 out in the parenthesis.

Y=2x+2+3

Now, combine like terms! In this case, your like terms are 2 and 3.

Y=2x + 5

Because there are no more like terms, and Y is completely isolated, Y=2x + 5 is your answer!
