Solve the linear equation for "y"
3x + 2y = 8 |
|
Definition
3x + 2y = 8
(Subtract 3x from both sides)
2y = -3x + 8
(Divide everything by 2)
y = (-3/2)x + 4
Answer: y = (-3/2)x + 4 |

Term
Solve the linear equation for "y"
2x - y = 5 |
|
Definition
2x - y = 5
(Subtract 2x from both sides)
-y = -2x + 5
(Divide everything by -1)
y = 2x - 5
Answer: y = 2x - 5 |

Term
Solve the linear equation for "y"
12x + 6y = 12 |
|
Definition
-12x + 6y = 12
(Add 12x to both sides)
6y = 12x + 12
(Divide everything by 6)
y = 2x + 2
Answer: y = 2x + 2 |

Term
Solve the linear equation for "y"
x - y = 3 |
|
Definition
x - y = 3
(Subtract x from both sides)
-y = -x + 3
(Divide both sides by -1)
y = x - 3
Answer: y = x - 3 |
|
|
Term
Solve the linear equation for "y"
y - 2x = 3 |
|
Definition
y - 2x = 3
(Add 2x to both sides)
y = 2x + 3
Answer: y = 2x + 3 |
|

Term
Solve the linear equation for "y"
-4x +2y = 5
|
|
Definition
-4x + 2y = 5
(Add 4x to both sides)
2y = 4x + 5
(Divide both sides by 2)
y = (4/2)x + (5/2)
(Simplify)
y = 2x + (5/2)
Answer: y = 2x + (5/2) |
|

Term
Solve the linear equation for "y"
3 + y = 5x
|
|
Definition
3 + y = 5x
(Subtract 3 from both sides)
y = 5x - 3
Answer: y = 5x - 3 |
|
|
Term
Solve the linear equation for "y"
-5 - y = x
|
|
Definition
-5 - y = x
(Add 5 to both sides)
-y = x + 5
(Divide everything by a -1)
y = -x - 5
Answer: y = -x - 5 |
|
|
Term
Solve the linear equation for "y"
-x - 2y = -6 |
|
Definition
-x - 2y = -6
(Add x to both sides)
-2y = x - 6
(Divide everything by a -2)
y = (-1/2)x + 3
Answer: y = (-1/2)x + 3 |
|
|
Term
Solve the linear equation for "y"
5 + 3x = y |
|
Definition
5 + 3x = y
(already solved for "y"!)
Answer: y = 3x + 5
