Question

2x+6y=12 for y

Answer 1

First thing you want to do is isolate your y (Get y by itself.)

Answer 2

okay you subtract y right?

Answer 3

Your y is positive on this side so might as well leave it there. Substract the x

Answer 4

Your new equation becomes 6y = ?

Answer 5

it's 0

Answer 6

Ughhh.... What you do to one side, you do to the other so if we substract 2x from both sides you get this:

2x-2x+6y = 12-2x

right?

Answer 7

yes :)

Answer 8

So what is 2x-2x?

Answer 9

1x Im confuessed I'm sorry

Answer 10

It's like if it was 2-2...

2-2 = 0
2x-2x = 0

Answer 11

So there is no more x on the left side so your new equation becomes:

6y = 12-2x

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

From here, you must divide the whole equation by 6 since you want to get y by itself so from here it becomes:

y = 2-1/3x

Answer 14

Sorry if I'm going fast I have to go.

Answer 15

it's okay
