Question

Solve for y, then find the value of y when given x = –2.
6x = 7 – 4y

Answer 1

When x = -2

6x = -12

So 12 = 7 - 4y

hence ... can you take it from here?

Answer 2

idk i was doing this problem and i got that far and i messed it up i think. it came out like 10-y and i was like what? im awful at math. ugh. :(

Answer 3

To solve for y, subtract 7 from both sides and then divide both sides by -4.

\[y = (-6x + 7) \div 4\]

then just plug in x value
when x = -2:

\[y = [-6(-2) +7] \div 4 \]
y(-2) = 4.75

Answer 4

oops i forgot a negative?

Answer 5

wait but the options are -12, 7 fourths, 19 fourths, and 24.

Answer 6

y = 19/4 = 4.75

I didn't know it was multiple choice, I just put it into decimal form
