Math Problem Statement

Solve for y in the equation 3x + 2 = y when x = 4.

Solution

The equation provided in the image is:

3x+2=y3x + 2 = y

We are given that x=4x = 4. Now, we can substitute this value of xx into the equation to solve for yy:

y=3(4)+2=12+2=14y = 3(4) + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

Thus, y=14y = 14.

The correct answer is 14.

Would you like any further details or have any questions? Here are some related questions to consider:

  1. What happens if x=5x = 5 in the equation 3x+2=y3x + 2 = y?
  2. How would the equation change if it was 3x2=y3x - 2 = y?
  3. Can you solve for xx if y=20y = 20?
  4. How would the graph of this equation look like?
  5. What is the slope of the equation y=3x+2y = 3x + 2?

Tip: Always substitute known values into the equation before simplifying.
