Question

Y: 2x(3+y)=12 i don't know how to solve this one

Answer 1

start by distributing

Answer 2

then what?

Answer 3

what is your answer after you distribute?

Answer 4

6x+2xy=12

Answer 5

CAN'T YOU DIVIDE BY 2X?

Answer 6

next i would get xy by itself

Answer 7

THEN SUBTRACT 3 ON BOTH SIDES

Answer 8

i have xy=1/2 not sure what to do now

Answer 9

how did you get rid of the other x?

Answer 10

2x divide 2 by 2

Answer 11

nope would still be x

Answer 12

ok i should be good from here thnx

Answer 13

2xy=12-6x
xy=6-3x
y=?

Answer 14

I would have divided by 2x first. Saves steps later and simplifies the problem.

Answer 15

either way still gets to the same spot

Answer 16

2x(3+y)=12
3 + y = 6/x
y = 6/x - 3
done and done

Answer 17

except this way is faster and easier. ;)

Answer 18

thats what i did!

Answer 19

thanks all of you :)

Answer 20
