Question

O.k. this is a easy one,however,I've forgotten the process.Pls.refresh my memory on this equation:
y-2+3y=10

Answer 1

-2+4y=10
4y=12
y=3

Answer 2

Pretend y is x.

Answer 3

It's just a different variable.

Answer 4

combine like terms, add 2 to both sides to get the y alone, divide by 4

Answer 5

Unless, however, the problem is parametric, in which case the equation is used to find the y coordinate. The x equation is treated the same way.

Answer 6

Can you type out the whole process for me to see?

Answer 7

Solving for y?

Answer 8

I believe so.

Answer 9

\[Y-2+3Y=10\]
\[Y+3y=10-2=8\]
\[4y=8\]
\[Y=8div4\]
\[Y=2\]

Answer 10

Does that make sense?

Answer 11

I have to look it over before I can say whether or not it makes sense.

Answer 12

So the Y is equal to 1 that made it 4?

Answer 13

Thanks for your help!

Answer 14

No, it equals 2.

Answer 15

In order for the equation to hold true.

Answer 16

No,what I meant was : Y+ 3y = 4?

Answer 17

No, y+3y=8 because you subtract 2 from 10 first, getting 8.

So, y+3y=8

Which then becomes 4y because you add the y's together, or combine like terms.

Then you get y=2, because you divide 8 by 4.

Answer 18

O.k.,thanks for the clarification.

Answer 19

You all set?

Answer 20

Yeah,for now anyways.:)

Answer 21

Haha cool. Glad to help.
