Math Problem Statement

3x-4y=6

Solution

To solve the linear equation 3x4y=63x - 4y = 6, we can approach it in different ways depending on what you're looking for. I'll assume you're interested in solving for one variable in terms of the other (either xx or yy).

Solving for xx in terms of yy:

  1. Start with the given equation: 3x4y=63x - 4y = 6
  2. Add 4y4y to both sides: 3x=6+4y3x = 6 + 4y
  3. Divide both sides by 3 to solve for xx: x=6+4y3x = \frac{6 + 4y}{3} Simplifying: x=2+4y3x = 2 + \frac{4y}{3}

Solving for yy in terms of xx:

  1. Start with the same equation: 3x4y=63x - 4y = 6
  2. Subtract 3x3x from both sides: 4y=63x-4y = 6 - 3x
  3. Divide both sides by 4-4: y=3x64y = \frac{3x - 6}{4} Simplifying: y=3x464y = \frac{3x}{4} - \frac{6}{4} y=3x432y = \frac{3x}{4} - \frac{3}{2}
