Math Problem Statement

EQUATION 1: 3x+y=6

Solution

You provided one equation:

3x+y=63x + y = 6

Since it's a single equation with two variables, it represents a line in the coordinate plane rather than a single solution. To find solutions, you'll need another equation or additional information. However, I can express yy in terms of xx or find specific solutions if you provide a value for xx.

Solving for yy in terms of xx:

From the equation 3x+y=63x + y = 6, solve for yy:

y=63xy = 6 - 3x

Example Solutions:

  1. If x=0x = 0: y=63(0)=6y = 6 - 3(0) = 6 Solution: (x,y)=(0,6)(x, y) = (0, 6).

  2. If x=2x = 2: y=63(2)=0y = 6 - 3(2) = 0 Solution: (x,y)=(2,0)(x, y) = (2, 0).

  3. If x=1x = -1: y=63(1)=9y = 6 - 3(-1) = 9 Solution: (x,y)=(1,9)(x, y) = (-1, 9).

Would you like more details on this, or do you have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. What would the graph of 3x+y=63x + y = 6 look like?
  2. How can you find the x-intercept and y-intercept of the equation?
  3. What happens if you multiply the entire equation by a constant?
  4. How would you find the slope and y-intercept of this line?
  5. What is the significance of the slope in the context of this equation?

Tip: When you have only one equation with two variables, think of it as describing a line. Any point on that line is a solution to the equation.
