6x-2y=14. x=0

OpenStudy (igreen):

6x - 2y = 14 x = 0 6(0) - 2y = 14 0 - 2y = 14

OpenStudy (igreen):

Can you do the rest?

OpenStudy (igreen):

What's \(0 - 2y\)? @usitdown

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2

OpenStudy (igreen):

Close, -2y.

OpenStudy (igreen):

So now we have: \(-2y = 14\). Do you know what we have to do next to get \(x\) by itself?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope lol

OpenStudy (igreen):

Since \(-2\) is being multiplied by the variable \(y\), we have to do the opposite and divide \(-2\) to both sides.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Can you divide \(\Large\frac{14}{-2}\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-7

OpenStudy (igreen):

Correct. So \(y = -7\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

equals 7

OpenStudy (igreen):

No. 14 / -2 = -7.
