Question

Solve M = 2x + 3y for y

Answer 1

1) Subtract \(2x\) from both sides.
2) Divide both sides by \(3\).

Answer 2

so its this right? \[\frac{\cancel{3}y}{\cancel{3}}=\frac{M-2x}{3}\]

Answer 3

That's correct!

here is how you can solve it

Answer 5

M=2x+3y
Your goal should be to isolate y on one side

M - 2x = 2x + 3y -2x
Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation
M - 2x = 3y

(M-2x)/3=3y/3
Divide both sides of the equation by 3
(M-2x)/3=y

y=M/3-2x/3 or y=(M-2x)/3
