Math Problem Statement
2x - 3y = -12
Solution
You have the linear equation:
To solve for one of the variables, we need more information, such as a second equation for a system of linear equations. However, if you're looking to express one variable in terms of the other, we can do that.
Let’s solve for in terms of :
Step 1: Isolate
Step 2: Divide both sides by 2
Thus, is expressed as:
Alternatively, we could solve for in terms of . Would you like to do that, or need help with something else?
