Question

Solve the equation for y: 4x - 2y = 6
1. y = -2x + 3
2. y = 2x + 3
3. y = -2x - 3
4. y = 2x - 3

I got 4: y = 2x - 3 is this correct, if it is tell me how you figured it out step be step

Answer 1

Yes it's correct.


4x - 2y = 6
4x - 2y+2y = 6+2y ... add 2y to both sides
4x = 6+2y
4x-6 = 6+2y-6 ... subtract 6 from both sides
4x-6 = 2y
2y = 4x-6
y = 2x-3 ... divide every term by 2
