Question

how to solve for y?

\[(x-y)(x-y)=9\]

Answer 1

\[(x-y)(x-y)=9\]
\[(x-y)^2=3^2\]
\[\qquad=\]

Answer 2

You cannot solve for y because there are 2 variables yet there are only 1 equation. Do you mean change of subject?

Answer 3

here comes the race...

Answer 4

@Igbsallote those are fun

Answer 5

so then sqrt and get x-y=3 and so y = x-3

Answer 6

and y=x+3 also

Answer 7

yes? :D

Answer 8

\[\LARGE\color{red}{\checkmark\checkmark}\]

Answer 9

okay can you help me factor \[x^2-3xy-4y^2=0\]

Answer 10

(x+y)(x-4y)?

Answer 11

\(\LARGE\color{red}{\checkmark\checkmark}\)

Answer 12

lol okay so if i was to solve that for y i would get...
x+y=4y+x
now what? :|

Answer 13

(x+y)(x-4y) =0
x+y= 0 or x-4y = 0

Answer 14

ooohhh :O

okay so y=x or y=-1/4x

Answer 15

y=-x*

Answer 16

x+y=0
y=-x
x-4y=0
y= x/4

Answer 17

yup yup...col i was right ^_^

Answer 18

cool* ...wow lol

Answer 19

next question...

Answer 20

someone took a detour and suddenly appeared in the race out of nowhere

Answer 21

Answer 30

i don't reply when someone else is replying

Answer 31

@tyteen4a03 ur tryin way to hard buddy

Answer 32

lol okay one last one...you guys have 4 minutes to explain it to me

Answer 33

\[{3x+5}\over{6y-1}\] solve for y

Answer 34

3y*

Answer 35

thats not an equation

Answer 36

will the equation self-destruct if they cant solve it in 4 minutes?

Answer 37

okay lemme write that again...
\[x={{3y-5}\over{6y-1}}\]

Answer 38

solve for y.....and i leave in 3 minutes thats why

Answer 39

its +5...sorry

Answer 40

3y+5

Answer 41

multiply by the denominator

Answer 42

@yummydum I'm trying what? :P

Answer 43

that gives \[{18y^2+29y-5}\over {36y^2+12y+1}\]

Answer 44

agh, not what i ment

Answer 45

:\

Answer 46

im confused

Answer 47

\[x={{3y-5}\over{6y-1}}\]
\[(6y-1)\times x=(6y-1)\times{{3y-5}\over{6y-1}}\]
\[(6y-1)\times x=3y-5\]

Answer 48

ohhh

Answer 49

6xy-x=3y-5
now what?

Answer 50

actually was it plus five or minus?

Answer 51

+5

Answer 52

what do i do from\[6xy-x=3y+5\]

Answer 53

minus five from both sides

Answer 54

minus 6xy from both sides

Answer 55

\[-x-5=3y-6xy\]\[-x-5=y(-6x+3)\]\[{{-x-5}\over{-6x+3}}~~~=y\]\[y={{x+5}\over{6x-3}}\]

Answer 56

you rock...i need to sleep...stay blessed bro....g'nite! :P

Answer 57

great work !
