let x = 0 then solve for y

Thank you. & people do it all the time..

lgbasallote · Answer

why didnt you say so?? i could've randomly said y = 0 and eased all my troubles

anonymous · Answer

the reason why y=8 is because 3y=24 you / y=and have 24/3 which is y=8

anonymous · Answer

Lol, does it equal 8 or 0?

anonymous · Answer

@godorovg   you provided y=8  ??
if you are not sure of something then do not reply .

lgbasallote · Answer

anyway @Deedles i'll let you in a secret...if you just answered y = 8 you're dead wrong...that's what happens when you just listen to answers with no solutions...

anonymous · Answer

if x=0 and you have 3y=24 to get y my itself you divide 3 by 24 which gives you eight

lgbasallote · Answer

sure...stand by your answer..

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

My exam said your wrong xD

anonymous · Answer

@godorovg  now happy ?

lgbasallote · Answer

8x - 3y = 24

substitute x with 0

8(0) - 3y = 24

-3y = 24

dividee both sides by -3

y = -8

there's your wanted proof @godorovg
