Question

I am having a hard time solving for y in the following equation
y-10=1/2(x-6)

Answer 1

start by multipling the whole thing by 2 perhaps?

Answer 2

is that (1/2) * (x-6) ?? or is it all part of a denominator?

Answer 3

im not sure?

Answer 4

Okay. SO what you have here is this: y - 10 = (x-6)/2
First off, add 10 to both sides.
Then you have: y = (x-6)/2 + 10
Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the denominator.
2y = x-6+20
Which gives:
2y = x + 26
y = x/2 + 13
That is your final answer.
If this helps, please give me a medal.
