m=2x + 3y for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did u need to solve it for y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do I start by dividing 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first subtract 2x on both sides then divide by 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whats that look like?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ m - 2x }{ 3 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[M=2x+3y\]\[3y=m-2x?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you know what to start with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

make y on one side and other variables on other side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Huh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok where is my y? all I have m-2x/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3y=m−2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its equal to y we have made y on one side and other variables on different side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y= m - 2x /3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To be clear: y= (m - 2x) /3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it looks like this :\[\frac{M- 2x }{ 3}=y\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And thats it? I solved for y right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since you see y by itself in one side, so that's it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, I have some more questions if you could help please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
