Math Problem Statement

3x−3y= 18

Solution

You have the equation:

3x3y=183x - 3y = 18

To simplify, we can divide through by 3:

xy=6x - y = 6

This equation represents a linear relationship between xx and yy. If you want to solve for one variable in terms of the other, you can isolate either xx or yy.

For example, to solve for xx in terms of yy:

x=y+6x = y + 6

Or to solve for yy in terms of xx:

y=x6y = x - 6

Would you like to go further and find specific values for xx and yy if additional information is provided? Or would you like to explore other steps related to this equation?


Here are 5 related questions:

  1. How do you solve a system of two linear equations?
  2. What is the graphical interpretation of the equation xy=6x - y = 6?
  3. How do you find the slope of a line from its equation?
  4. What happens to the graph if we change the right-hand side of the equation?
  5. How can we solve for xx and yy if there's another equation?

Tip: Always try to simplify equations by factoring out common terms, like the 3 in this example, to make the problem easier to handle.
