Question

What is the solution of 6x + y = 24 and ?

Answer 1

Are you solving for x and y?

Answer 2

If so, you can plug in zero for one variable to solve for the other.

Let's solve for x first. It'll look a little something like this:
6x + (0) = 24

Next, divide both sides by 6.

\[24\div6=4\]
x = 4

Now, let's solve for y. Plug in zero for x:

6(0) + y = 24

We know that zero times ANYTHING is just zero! So:

y = 24

If you were trying to put this equation is slope-intercept form, it'll look like this:

y=-6x+24

I hope this helps!
