Math Problem Statement

4x-3y=-18

Solution

The equation you provided is a linear equation in two variables: xx and yy. We can solve it for one variable in terms of the other, or use methods like substitution or elimination if we have another equation. Here, let's solve for yy in terms of xx.

The equation is: 4x3y=184x - 3y = -18

Solving for yy:

  1. Isolate the term with yy: 3y=4x18-3y = -4x - 18
  2. Divide by 3-3 to solve for yy: y=4x183y = \frac{-4x - 18}{-3} Simplifying: y=4x+183y = \frac{4x + 18}{3}

So, the solution for yy in terms of xx is: y=4x+183y = \frac{4x + 18}{3}

If you'd like to solve this equation for xx or have a different type of analysis (like graphing), let me know!
