Question

When trying to solve y=2/4x+6 and y is 5, what is x?

Answer 1

like a first step

\[y = \frac{ 2 }{ 4 }x +6\]

\[y = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x +6\]

given y=5

and now just substitute the 5 in place of y inside equation

\[5 = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x +6\]

multiplie both sides by 2 and will get

\[10 = x +12\]

\[x = 10-12\]

\[x=-2\]
