Math Problem Statement

−4x=−2y+6

Solution

We are given the equation:

4x=2y+6-4x = -2y + 6

Let's solve for yy in terms of xx:

Step 1: Isolate the 2y-2y term

Add 2y2y to both sides of the equation:

4x+2y=6-4x + 2y = 6

Step 2: Isolate the 2y2y term

To solve for yy, we want to isolate the yy term. Subtract 4x-4x from both sides:

2y=4x+62y = 4x + 6

Step 3: Solve for yy

Now, divide both sides by 2 to isolate yy:

y=4x+62y = \frac{4x + 6}{2}

Simplify the expression:

y=2x+3y = 2x + 3

The equation is now solved for yy in terms of xx:

y=2x+3y = 2x + 3

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this problem:

  1. What is the slope of the line represented by y=2x+3y = 2x + 3?
  2. How do we graph the equation y=2x+3y = 2x + 3?
  3. Can you find the x-intercept and y-intercept of this equation?
  4. What would the equation look like if the slope were different, say y=5x+3y = 5x + 3?
  5. How do we find the point of intersection of y=2x+3y = 2x + 3 with another line?

Tip: When solving linear equations, try to get one variable isolated step by step for clarity and simplicity.
