4y-2=3x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Divide both sides by 3.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i was trying to find the inverse of
OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):
To isolate x divide by 3, you're doing the inverse of multiplication
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hold on just to make sure.... i was trying to do the inverse of

x=3x+2/4. am i even on the right track ????
OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):
3x is the same as 3 * x... So the inverse would be 3x/3 = x.. Divide every term by 3
OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):
I'm on my tablet I can't find much other than type, but just divide every term by 3 (division is the inverse of multiplication )
OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):
Do much other than that *
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so 4y-2= 3x
3 3 3
0.75 - (-1.5)=x
1.80=x????

dont think i did that right...
OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):
4/3 is not the same as 3/4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its 1.33 - 0.66 = x?
OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):
What happened to y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1.33y-0.66=x

Yeah, you could also solve for you
OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):
Y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i am lost very badly... i could find y by adding 0.66 to each side and then divididing by 1.33 but then what?
OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):
Its only asking to solve for x so, x= -0.66+1.33y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so is that the answer?
