Math Problem Statement

3x-2y=6 solve for x

Solution

To solve for xx in the equation 3x2y=63x - 2y = 6, follow these steps:

  1. Start with the equation: 3x2y=63x - 2y = 6

  2. Isolate xx by adding 2y2y to both sides: 3x=6+2y3x = 6 + 2y

  3. Now, divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for xx: x=6+2y3x = \frac{6 + 2y}{3}

  4. Simplify the expression: x=2+2y3x = 2 + \frac{2y}{3}

Thus, the solution for xx is: x=2+2y3x = 2 + \frac{2y}{3}
