Math Problem Statement

4x+2y=10

Solution

The equation you provided is:

4x+2y=104x + 2y = 10

This is a linear equation in two variables, xx and yy. You can solve for one variable in terms of the other or express it in slope-intercept form.

Solving for yy:

  1. Subtract 4x4x from both sides: 2y=104x2y = 10 - 4x

  2. Divide both sides by 2 to solve for yy: y=104x2y = \frac{10 - 4x}{2} y=52xy = 5 - 2x

So, the equation is now in the slope-intercept form y=2x+5y = -2x + 5. The slope of the line is 2-2 and the y-intercept is 55.

If you need to find specific values of xx and yy, you would either need another equation or a specific value of one variable to substitute and solve.

Would you like more details on any of these steps?


Here are 5 related questions to consider:

  1. What is the graphical representation of this linear equation?
  2. How do you find the x- and y-intercepts for this equation?
  3. How can you solve this system if given another linear equation?
  4. What is the slope and how does it relate to the steepness of the line?
  5. Can this equation be solved using matrices or other methods?

Tip: Always verify the form of a linear equation when graphing, as different forms (like standard vs slope-intercept) make certain features easier to identify.
