Math Problem Statement

3x+2y-4=2(5-y)

Solution

We can solve the equation step by step:

Given equation:

3x+2y4=2(5y)3x + 2y - 4 = 2(5 - y)

  1. Expand the right side:

3x+2y4=102y3x + 2y - 4 = 10 - 2y

  1. Move all terms involving yy to one side:

3x+2y+2y=10+43x + 2y + 2y = 10 + 4

This simplifies to:

3x+4y=143x + 4y = 14

Now, we have the simplified equation:

3x+4y=143x + 4y = 14

This is a linear equation in two variables, xx and yy. To solve further, you would either need a value for xx or yy, or another equation to solve the system.

Would you like to solve for one variable or work on something else related to this equation?
