Question

What is the value of x in the equation 3x-4y=65, when y=4?

Answer 1

Answer: x = 27

Explanation:

3x - 4y = 65
3x - 4(4) = 65
3x - 16 = 65
3x = 65 + 16
3x = 81
x = 81/3
x = 27

Answer 2

Hello there! :)

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x = 27}$

Given the equation:

3x - 4y = 65 where y = 4

Substitute in 4 for "y":

3x - 4(4) = 65

Simplify:

3x - 16 = 65

Add 16 to both sides:

3x - 16 + 16 = 65 + 16

3x = 81

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3 = 81/3

x = 27.
