Question

Solve x – 2y = 6 for y

i got y=(6-x)/2

Answer 1

i mean -2

Answer 2

That looks correct to me. (with the -2)

Answer 3

x - 2y = 6

-2y = 6 - x

-2y = -x + 6

y = -x/(-2) + 6/(-2)

y = x/2 - 3

y = (1/2)x - 3

Answer 4

You could also try \[(x-6) \over 2\]By factoring out a \[{-1 \over -1}=1\]

Answer 5

\[{6-x \over -2}={-1 \over -1}\;\;{x-6 \over 2}={x-6 \over 2}\]
