So isolate 'y' on the left side...how would you do that?

anonymous · Answer

By subtraction the 3 from both sides.

I'm sorry im missing 2/3x in all the problems

johnweldon1993 · Answer

Not quite....you would subtract the 2x from both sides

2x - 3y = 6
-2x         -2x

-3y = 6 - 2x

Then you would divide everything by -3 to isolate 'y'

-3y = 6 - 2x
------------
-3     -3    -3

y = -2 + 2/3x

or written correctly

y = 2/3x - 2
