Question

Solve for y.
4x – 1 = 6 + 3y + 3x
x + 4 + y = 11 + 4y

Answer 1

1) 4x – 1 = 6 + 3y + 3x
combine like terms:
4x – 1 = 6 + 3y + 3x
-3x -3x

x - 1 = 6 + 3y
+1 +1

x = 3y + 7 (this is simplified)

2) x + 4 + y = 11 + 4y
combine like terms:
x + 4 + y = 11 + 4y
-y -y

x + 4 = 11 + 3y
-4 -4

x = 3y + 7 (simplified)

Answer 2

Thank you!
